Removal of two hydroelectric dams on the Elwha River was initiated in 2011 as authorized by the Elwha River Ecosystem and Fisheries Act (PL102-495). At this time Elwha Dam has been completely removed and only 50' of Glines Canyon Dam remains. Complementary to this large scale ecosystem restoration project, efforts are being made by LEKT to restore floodplain habitat conditions in the lower Elwha River below River Mile 3.5. These efforts include the removal of older flood control dikes, reforestation, control of exotic plants, barrier corrections and additions of large wood as engineered logjams. This proposal identifies a legacy push up dike from a 1950's channelization effort by private citizens at that time. The ~2000' long dike is located on the eastern river floodplain between River mile 2.4-3.0 on lands owned by the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe. The structure blocks access into what was once the mainstem of the Elwha River. We propose to remove that structure and establish the pre-impact topography of the site. This project would be complementary to efforts by LEKT to encourage lateral floodplain development using ELJ's in the project reach. This dike removal would be the fourth such project completed in the lower river.
