The dam removal process was originally projected to last two and a half to three years.

Advocates of dam removal also cite these losses of stored water as reason to decommission the dam.

Human activities also benefited from the dam removal.

Bank erosion and river sedimentation caused by higher turbidity differs considerably from what was experienced for decades prior to dam removal.

After studying several other dam removals, we expect sediment trapped behind the dam to rapidly evacuate and redistribute downstream over a period of several years.
