Webcams have been placed facing both the Elwha and Glines Canyon Dams, the
deltas at the southern ends of the Lake Aldwell and Lake Mills reservoirs,
and along the northern shore of each reservoir. While the primary purpose
of the webcams is to monitor the process of sediment movement, viewers will
be able to get a direct view of each dam as the removal process progresses.
This weeks start of dam removal and the ongoing restoration work on the
river has generated interest regionally, nationally and even
internationally. We think this is a unique and effective way to reach out
to people interested in the Elwha River and its restoration, said Olympic
National Park Superintendent Karen Gustin. Olympic National Park is
pleased to see these cameras go online this week. Please visit the page and
check back regularly to keep track of these exciting changes.
Removal of the 210-foot Glines Canyon Dam which will become the largest dam
removed in U.S. history begins September 15. Removal of the 108-foot Elwha
Dam begins September 17. Both are scheduled to be removed simultaneously
over the next three years.
