On October 19, 2007,
Marmot Dam, the largest dam ever to be removed in Oregon,
was dismantled allowing the Sandy River to be free flowing
for the first time in nearly 100 years.
In 2008, the Little
Sandy Dam will also be removed, improving access to over 100
miles of salmon and steelhead habitat on the Mt. Hood National
Forest.
On December 17,
2007, the City of Portland and the Mt. Hood National Forest
signed the new Bull Run Watershed Management Unit Agreement.
This Agreement now serves as a partnership guide for the long
term stewardship of the Bull Run, the source of Portland's
drinking water.
