"Dam Removal Begins in Early 2008"

"It's never gonna happen"

So says a friend that works at OPI (Olympic Park Institute) and has been rather up on the events surrounding the Elwha Dam removal for quite some time now. We talk about it from time to time, his students go out there and gather samples; and he would like to see them go- but with the never ending slew of hold ups, who really knows?

Our conversations inspired me to see if I could find anything on how things are progressing. After much searching, I found a lot of old articles citing what should be happening early next year. This article from last year was very thorough, I recommend it as a primer on the process or for all the great quotes it provides form the men that are directly involved.
