Little Sandy Dam/Marmot Dam Removal Effects
Reach:  Little Sandy1
Sub-watershed:  Bull Run
The Portland General Electric (PGE) Bull Run Hydroelectric Project was decommissioned beginning in 2007. A series of studies were initiated to predict and/or monitor the effects of the removal of Marmot Dam in 2007 and the Little Sandy Dam in 2008.

The following are different projects of the sub-type Little Sandy Dam/Marmot Dam Removal Effects that have occurred in the Little Sandy1 reach.

Alternatively, you can see details on all projects of the sub-type Little Sandy Dam/Marmot Dam Removal Effects in the Sandy River Basin.




Effects of the Removal of the Little Sandy Dam on the Physical Habitat in the Little Sandy River
The Little Sandy Dam was removed in 2008. Cross-sectional and longitudinal transects measured below the dam site before and after dam removal will be compared to look for down-cutting or aggradation of the stream bed. The results will guide managers in their restoration efforts.
