The Klamath River Renewal Corporation reported in July that Copco II, the first of four dams to be removed on the Klamath River, is nearly gone. Crews have been working hard this summer to remove the concrete structure and restore the river channel.
The other three dams will be removed next summer, allowing steelhead, salmon, and lamprey access to over 400 miles of spawning and rearing habitat in the upper basin for the first time in over a century.
