J.C. Boyle Dam removal has begun in Klamath County
The last of four Klamath River dams undergoing deconstruction began earlier this week. Located in Klamath County, J.C. Boyle Dam is the northernmost of the four planned for removal by the Klamath River Renewal Corporation. KRRC CEO Mark Bransom said the corporation received approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to begin removal starting Monday, May 13. “As of Monday morning, the contractor was working on the earthen embankment section of the dam,” Bransom said. J.C. Boyle Dam is part embankment and part concrete, consisting of earth-fill, concrete gravity, intake and spillway sections.
