RDG is involved with several dam removal projects in Montana and Oregon. Dams which once served multiple purposes including water storage, diversion, and power generation either no longer serve the purpose they were originally designed for, or the economic and environmental costs they incur have exceeded their societal benefit. RDG is collaborating with a host of stakeholders to remove relict dams that currently impact fish passage for federally-listed fish species. Removal of these dams is expected to benefit fish species, water quality, and provide recreational opportunities for local communities.
