Yes, it is great to see the dams coming down in the U.S. I can hardly wait for the first removal in B.C.

I think a dam or at least an intake weir on the Heber has already been removed.  It used to divert water from the Gold into the Campbell.

The Comox Lake Dam on the Puntledge would also be a good candidate.

If you subscribe to Netflix, you may watching "Damnation".

The Elwha Dam removal project is prominently featured in the movie.

Really interesting documentary.   Thanks for the tip!  I highly recommend it to anyone else who has a chance to check out Damnation.
