Elwha dam teardown resumes with a bang

Contractors have resumed removing the final 50 feet of the Glines Canyon Dam on the Elwha River. Explosives were used to further lower the dam that was once 210 feet tall and three more blasts next year will be needed to complete the demolition.

Unfortunately due to the federal government shutdown all the dam webcams are offline.

Elwha Double Cappuccino

Sediment from the Elwha River flows into the Straight of Juan De Fuca as demolition continues on Glines Canyon Dam.

Glines always held back the majority of sediment, because it is upstream of Elwha Dam. Together the dams trapped sediment that normally would have rinsed down the river over the last 100 years.
