Another one bites the dust.

California American Water, with partners NOAA Fisheries and the California State Coastal Conservancy, announced today that the second season of construction for the San Clemente Dam Removal Project will begin this May. The project’s three year construction schedule began last summer and is on-track for completion next year.
