This book was released on 2024-09-20 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rivers are vital ecosystems that support aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity and several ecosystem services, including food, water, culture, and recreation. After centuries of building dams on rivers across the world, dam removal projects are now on the rise due to obsolescence, reservoir sedimentation, insufficient return on investment, or river restoration and conservation priorities. Most dam removal projects have focused on smaller structures (< 10 m in structural height), but larger structures have also started to be removed in increasing numbers as practitioners, river managers, conservationists, and the public have gained more experience with the practice. Recent estimates suggest that only a small fraction of dam removals have been scientifically studied, and include mostly small dams and short time scales. Documenting the long-term ecological outcomes of large dam removal (i.e. >10 m tall) represents a new frontier in dam removal research: projects are more recent and provide an opportunity to understand the complex ecological changes that occur with these transformative restoration projects. Here, we aim to collate a diverse array of papers on long-term dam removal research projects involving larger dams (>10 m) to synthesize the issues, outcomes, tools, and experimental designs used to study large dam removal projects from physical, biological, and ecological perspectives. With this collection, we aim to showcase diverse global projects on ecosystem responses to large dam removal; collect perspectives from different disciplines, fields, and geographies; and synthesize the current state of knowledge in this area. We expect that this Research Topic will be informative to ongoing, long-term ecological restoration and monitoring projects related to dam removal as well as to upcoming large dam removal projects. We welcome contributions from all disciplines addressing the physical, ecological, and ecosystem responses to large-scale dam removal. Contributions could include original research in a specific discipline or area, case studies, or synthesis papers that address one or more of these topics in a transdisciplinary approach. Contributors could address any of the following major topics as related to outcomes of large dam removal, alone or in combination: Freshwater, estuarine, and marine aquatic biota; River and reservoir geomorphology; Terrestrial and riparian vegetation; Wildlife; Sedimentation; and Modelling. We would like contributors to highlight key results in their area of study, cross-disciplinary insights, and lessons learned that could inform ongoing monitoring and research efforts in current projects as well as upcoming large dam removals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In 2009, Jackson County applied for and received a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Coastal and Marine Habitat Restoration Project Grant under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) to remove the Gold Ray Dam for the purpose of improving fish habitat and passage. The grant was separated into two phases; a first phase that included conducting environmental and other studies to determine the feasibility of removing the dam and a second phase that included the removal of the dam and associated structures. NOAA released the funding for the first phase of the project to the County but delayed the release of funding for phase two until after the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) analysis could be completed. National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), as the administrator of the grant, must comply with the NEPA requirements to assess the potential impacts of the proposed action on the natural and human environment. In early May 2010, Jackson County, as the dam's owner, decided dam removal is the best option for addressing their long-term interests as the owner of the dam. NMFS is proposing to release funding to Jackson County, Oregon to improve fish passage at the Gold Ray Dam on the Rogue River near Medford, OR. The dam owner, Jackson County, has been working with NMFS and additional project partners to explore the option of dam removal. The purpose of the project is two-fold: (1) to address inadequate fish passage and improve native fish habitat on the Rogue River at Gold Ray Dam; and (2) to address the short- and long-term financial and liability impacts of the dam to Jackson County, Oregon"--Executive summary.
