This chapter reviews dam removals on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula (the Elwha Dam and the Glines Canyon Dam), and on the Ottaway River in Michigan. Both were led by indigenous tribes (the Klallam in Washington and the Chippewa in Michigan), so both removals exhibit successful movements for environmental justice. The Elwha Dam was the largest removal up to 2014. Four dams were removed on the Ottaway in Michigan, and the remaining Union Street Dam is being replaced by FishPass, a new very promising technology for controlling invasive species in the Great Lakes.

Environmental Justice in the Olympics and on the Ottaway

  • Richard M. Robinson

摘要

This chapter reviews dam removals on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula (the Elwha Dam and the Glines Canyon Dam), and on the Ottaway River in Michigan. Both were led by indigenous tribes (the Klallam in Washington and the Chippewa in Michigan), so both removals exhibit successful movements for environmental justice. The Elwha Dam was the largest removal up to 2014. Four dams were removed on the Ottaway in Michigan, and the remaining Union Street Dam is being replaced by FishPass, a new very promising technology for controlling invasive species in the Great Lakes.
