    Megatonnes of sediment builds up behind dams in few decades. Remove the dam and most of that will wash downstream, despite efforts to stabilize it with plants. It will smother spawning beds and do other damage, and while the river will-probably, eventually, mostly-clean itself, it only takes one year’s total failure to destroy a spawning run. Suggestion? Build one suction dredge that can be taken apart, transported by truck, and reassembled behind a dam scheduled for removal; we should be able to schedule dam removals so that one or two machines will do for all. Dredge most of the sediment out from behind the dam, and it will not be there to wash downstream. I don’t know where/how we dispose of all that, if it’s contaminated with agricultural and other chemicals-but then we don’t want to let that contaminate the downstream river bottom anyway. Where it is clean enough, it’s silt, very rich soil, and it could be sold to farmers or as a component of potting soil. There are no wastes, only un-utilized resources.

    The really sad aspect is that, had authorities and companies not been so stubborn about their "vision of progress", such small dams could have been mitigated by adding stones and gravel against their wall to allow fish to pass. Decades wasted in senseless ideological fight... 😑

    I just don't understand why these people have to come up with all these things as a reasons and justifications to remove the dam. It no longer serves a purpose, remove it. simples! All the rest of it is just waffle and job justification, If we spent half the money we spent on so called experts on real remedial activity we would clean up the environment in half the time.

      @@BeautifuLakesStreamsBiologists Beaver are natural to the rivers. They build small dams which create riparian habitat and help regenerate the water table by slowing the water run off. Fish can jump over the dams. The beaver dams also clean the water by trapping the sediment and creating natural wetlands where the vegetation traps sediment. The benefits are numerous. Too many to address is a short reply...

I've tried sitting and tying that thing according to the directions on bunch of YT videos, but whenever I test it out it just doesn't hold up compared with a regular knot, like an Orvis knot. Can I tie a good, strong non-slip loop using fine tippet? Thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated, thank you:)
