- Listen to the podcast on this at: www.usgs.gov/corecast (episode 24)
The USGS put together time-lapse video of the breach of the Marmot Dam, on the Sandy River in Oregon. Hydrology experts from the USGS Oregon Water Science Center and the USGS Cascades Volcano Observatory are studying this removal, the largest planned removal in the Pacific Northwest thus far.
Real-time USGS streamgages and other high-tech instruments are monitoring erosion, sediment transport, water quality, temperature changes, and turbidity of the water. This work is done in partnership with Portland General Electric (PGE), the owner of the dam, and other State and Federal agencies and university colleagues.
Removal of the Marmot Dam began in July 2007, and the final breach that unshackled the river occurred on October 19, 2007. As part of its decommissioning of the 100-year-old Bull Run Hydroelectric Project, PGE also plans to remove a smaller dam on the Little Sandy ...

* A catastrophic 1982 rainstorm triggered 18,000 landslides in the Bay Area, claiming 25 lives and causing $66 million in property damage
* The combination of steep slopes, weak rocks, and intense winter storms make Bay Area uplands an ideal setting for landslides
* Landslides include both swift, potentially deadly debris flows and slower, but destructive deepseated slides
* Learn what USGS scientists have discovered about landslide dynamics and which slopes are most susceptible to sliding
* Hear the devastating stories of Bay Area residents affected by landslides and learn to recognize the danger signs
