Description

In Feb 2009 Lewis County PUD released a draft study for a water retention facility and hydropower project with a reservoir that would innundate a 9.6 mile portion of this run approximately to this point. Located at USGS river mile 117.9 mile. Various iterations of this proposed dam have continued to persist.
