We know who drew the short straw.

Sad to see its removal. Destroyed an upstream eco system and thousands of fish were killed not to mention the down stream destruction for the silt.

6:01” the last heavy machine happens to be a forklift” so the 2 excavator’s must have been light weight toys

Beautiful.

Thank you for caring about our world...

Just like the Grand Canyon. Not millions of years.

This was WPA which was idiotic...almost as stupid as the clay models of the dam. Spoken like true public officials, "we're going to learn alot'.. after the massive mistakes.

That dam model is so stupid. Just wow

Volume is toxic. Idiots

lot of gold in that silt

You lie, it was not profitable to put it back where it came from

I fished that section of the Sandy for decades, caught more sucker fish than salmon or trout. with the dam gone those sucker fish can swim all the way to the new spawning grounds, nothing improved for the salmon.

I had no idea marmots were dam builders, but we have a few grizzly in Canada we could send down. They LOVE those furry little chunks of meat. Crunchy on the inside, fluffy on the outside.

cool dam removal...the "expert" is a bit cringe...nothing about this would have been a surprise if they had studied the Condit dam removal

Felt very sorry for the marmots watching this......... :(

Huh. Its almost like nature knew what to do best.

A list of ideas, Fish Runs saving Dams and Water Shortages Update 7/4/2021 Do you have a nearby moving river or stream? You can now place a slow speed water generator on the bottom of the stream and make power 24 hours a day. The unit is called a Waterotor made in Canada. The Waterotors won't harm fish and can be scaled up to meet the needs of small towns or cities. Make the power miles away from the small town, sell the power to the power company than use the power to make water anywhere. Atmospheric water generators can make drinking water and irrigation water, and with a Waterotor, power can be made even in remote regions of the World. You just need moving water 3 to 4 miles an hour in streams, irrigation channels, fish ladders or even waste water outlet's. Garbage treatment plants can also use the power they make burning garbage to make water with atmospheric water generators and add storage tanks to supply small towns and cities. Adding Waterotors below dams can maximize electrical power made by any dam and replace power lost if the dam has a fish ladder or channel for fish to move up and down stream. A dam can be saved for flood control by adding these powered fish ladders and channels or notching the dam and putting in a flood gate to raise and lower the river during fish runs. Now people and fish can share the river. Note using the methane from sewage treatment plants or garbage landfills might be used to generate electricity for any water making projects. You might use your own City sewage system to make filtered irrigation water for lawns and gardens they have a system like that in my my small town. Note, what to make even more power? Then by covering fish ladders and channels with spaced solar panels decreases evaporation of the water and increases the efficiency of the solar panels. A now overdue idea, dealing with forest fires. You build and place atmospheric water generators and 100,000 to 5,000,000 gallon water tanks on hilltops to protect your town. You cover the tanks with solar panels and add wind turbines to make power anywhere. You sell the power, drinking water and irrigation water, then by adding irrigation pipes down the hillsides, you can create fire lines that lasts up to 24 hours. You make these fire lines by adding TetraKO, by Earth Clean at a 4 to 6 percent solution to the water. Turn on these stand alone units remotely, your fire trucks can work elsewhere or resupply themselves with needed water. Fire protection, drinking water, irrigation water and stand alone power for any city or town in need. Here again, Waterotor generators could be used to generate power for the hilltop water making units. These ideas all can be done today, just search RUclips, and then tell someone.

A good example of how the Missoula Floods eroded so much so quickly.

Shows that you can't out-expert nature.

My sediments too

Absolutely fascinating 3 cheers for old Ma Nature !!!!

Awesome until the guy in the forklift gets swept downstream!

So good to see.

Not sad at all. It served a purpose. At great environmental cost. And now it’s useless.

Love the model dam 🙂

👍👍👍✌️✌️🙏🙏🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷

all these hippies so happy for the fish, they even saved some from "drowning". Not a reason to destroy a dam. what a waste.

Is it me or do these dip shit act like dip shits or what and why the hell did they think it would take a year or so for diet to wash down river. I wonder if they've ever seen a levy break during a flood. I mean shit that one guy acted like a fricking idiot

No Marmots were harmed during the filming of this presentation.

Just think how happy those fish are finding their new but ancestral home. We need to support and step up the pace of dam removal for the health of our environment.

Anyone thought of running that sediment through a trommel? There’s has to be a build up of gold over the century the dam was there

AMAZIN

A BIG SKY well done!

Colorful special effects for the TV news cameras Its called dirt and dust. WTF was he talking about???

Great video thanks

Whos the loon in the yellow mac ? the local 'special' ? "Hey, Dwayne, go pull yer brother Cletus back. He be getting all muddy". "Ok, Ma, Cletus you 'tard get over here next to the Chevy afore I come whip yer arse, and for godsake put it away and pull yer britches up".

this just goes to show how limited so called experts are...you are an expert only 1% of the time when you get it right the other 99% belongs to nature

С Лёвой стороны 2 экскаваторами за 3 часа прорыть канал !!! Река дальше промоет сама !!! 3 суток и 1000 & все стоило бы ))) Умеют осваивать деньги в Дженирал электрик ))) 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💪🏿

All these so-called "experts" with their fancy, expensive MODELS.... useless!

thx to the failing damn, now they can study the sediment in michigan

When we were young, we did the best we could with what we knew. When we knew better , we did better. .... (paraphrasing Maya Angelou )

Good old nature she knows best

That guy is a little too excited with the model dam...

The battle goes on and no matter what, earth is huge and earth will win.

this would be really fun to do and watch. It's like playing in the creek x1000

6:21 I'm pretty sure he was blowing his wad in the river

The "experts" thought it would take years to move the dam? Literally knew this would not be the case for building tiny little dams in a barely flowing Creek by my parent's house and watching them go when you pulled a rock.

What a collection of platitudes and nonsense. An actually renewable that is cost effective must go because they would not build a fish ladder....years ago.

Nice Marmot man!

Satisfying
