Klamath Dam Removal: ‘It’s an Environmental Disaster’​

‘They purposefully made a disaster and are leaving taxpayers and the locals to clean up their mess’

Rep. Doug LaMalfa (CA-1) also expressed his disbelief in the results of the dam removal, in a January 30th Facebook post, summarizing the politics of the situation:
Environmentalists and the State of California are celebrating the world’s largest dam removal on the Upper Klamath River, while their work kills endangered species, destroys roads, threatens homes with bank collapse and is already seeing drinking water wells go dry. They purposefully made a disaster and are leaving taxpayers and the locals to clean up their mess.

Dam removal advocates refused to see the big picture, trusting a questionable Master’s thesis over the locals who knew better. Now, we see the results that are being ignored by the media and environmental groups – utter devastation of an ecosystem, and death. Dam removal advocates simply ignored the immense amount of sediment behind each dam, and how releasing it would impact water quality and river health. Now look, the water is black and thick with mud and toxic heavy metals covering every bit of gravel needed for spawning, deer are dying in the muck as it chokes out all life – and it absolutely reeks.

Shameless environmental groups cried that the removal of the dams is essential for fish health and would reverse salmon and steelhead population decline. Tell me, does this water look like a better habitat for the fish?

Newsom and the environmentalists were more interested in the trophy of the dams’ removal than the harm they caused.
The Yreka News posted a video described as a “massive fish kill:”

The sediment plume extends 2 miles into the ocean. Newsome said the river was sick and needed to be fixed. Well, he really fixed it.

You're an idiot. Seriously. Find yourself a man and settle down.

The Klamath is fine and will be fine. I've been working on the Elwha since 2009.

Stupid local people said the same thing: OMG, everything died, this is end of world. Nothing will return.

Then we got a nice big spit at the mouth of the river, fish returned, birds came back.

This is, as another wrote, garbage journalism.

Dams break when they get old, especially as dam owners become unable to pay for maintenance. A planned removal is usually less disastrous than waiting for a break. Building downstream from a dam in the flood zone is guaranteed loss by flood damage. Many towns will learn that lesson as the whole nation becomes unable to pay for dam maintenance.
