Skookumchuck Dam Webinar
September 28, 2022
The Office of Chehalis Basin (OCB) will hold a virtual webinar on Wednesday, September 28 from 6–7:30 p.m. to share the latest research, modeling, and key updates as it relates to its study of the Skookumchuck Dam.
The Skookumchuck Dam is over 50 years old, and the power plant it was built to serve is shutting down soon. OCB has been working with TransAlta (the dam’s owner), the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Quinault Indian Nation, the Confederated Tribes of the Chehalis Reservation, and others to examine possible futures for the dam.
The webinar will focus on OCB’s ongoing evaluation of the dam, and options to reduce downstream flooding, improve fish passage, or both. This could include adjusting dam discharges, modifying the dam’s structure, or completely removing it.

Opening Outcomes of Restoration to a Stage 0 Condition: What Can We Expect?
September 29, 2022 – 10:00am – 11:00am
Join us for the September 2022 installment of PNW SciCast, a Webinar Series of the Pacific Northwest Research Station. Restoration to Stage 0 condition is a relatively new approach to process-based floodplain restoration. The U.S. Forest Service and partners have completed a number of these types of restoration projects over the last 5 to 10 years. This webinar—presented by Becky Flitcroft (with the Forest Service’s Pacific Northwest Research Station), Bill Brignon (with the Forest Service’s Pacific Northwest Region), and Lauren Mork (with the Upper Deschutes Watershed Council)—will provide a brief background on restoration to Stage 0, challenges and approaches to monitoring these projects, and an overview of monitoring data from a recently published manuscript. The webinar will be followed by a Q&A session.
