From the Abstract: "Removal of the Glines Canyon and Elwha Dams on the Elwha River in northwestern Washington has been proposed to achieve restoration of the ecosytem and native anadromous fisheries of the river ... The most serious concern associated with removal of the dams is the management of sediment that has accumulated in deltas at the upstream ends of the lakes formed by the dams. ... The U.S. National Park Service, the Bureau of Reclamation, the U.S. Geological Survey, and the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe jointly conducted a drawdown experiment in April 1994 to determine the erodibility and size gradation of the Lake Mills Delta sediments, the impact of lake drawdown on sediment transport, and the impact of sediment erosion on water quality." Lake Mills is within Olympic National Park, WA.
