The Washington Department of Ecology has just released an environmental review to address how sediment will be managed during the proposed removal of Condit Dam on the White Salmon River in October 2010. Comments on the review document will be accepted until July 20, 2009.
Brought to you through the efforts of Wet Planet Whitewater and the Headwaters Institute, the White Salmon River RiverFest and Symposium will take place this weekend (Saturday May, 30th). American Whitewater will be presenting an update on Condit Dam removal and river restoration efforts in the region as part of the morning symposium. River races and a great party will take place in the afternoon and evening.
Please write to Senators Cantwell and
Murray and ask for their support in acquiring riverfront properties along the White Salmon River
downstream of Husum Falls. This reach is used as a training ground for novice paddlers and will be
the start of a new run to the Columbia River with the removal of Condit Dam.
