The Carmel River Reroute and San Clemente Dam Project is the largest dam removal project ever to occur in California and one of the largest to occur on the West Coast.  This groundbreaking project sets precedence for other dam removal and river restoration projects in California and nationwide.

When complete, the project will remove the 106 foot high antiquated dam and implement a watershed restoration process that will bring the Carmel River back to life.
