Removal of the Fielder and Wimer Dams in Southwest Oregon restored 70 miles of high quality habitat along Evans Creek, a major Rogue River tributary. Removal of these dams restores 16 miles of Chinook habitat, 60 miles of coho habitat and 70 miles of steelhead habitat. These dams were the fourth and eight worst fish passage barriers in the state of Oregon.
