Small Dam To Be Removed From Oregon's Crooked River
Monday, October 21, 2013 at 12:00AM 
Another one bites the dust!
With funding from American Rivers and NOAA Restoration Center River grants partnership, the six-foot tall, 150-foot wide Stearns Dam is being removed from central Oregon’s Crooked River.
Media have been invited for the initial notch opening in the dam on the morning of Oct. 24.
By removing this dam, 12 miles of the Crooked River will be opened up for chinook salmon and Middle Columbia steelhead, both anadromous species that historically utilized the Crooked River.
