Oct 25, 2011, www.oregonlive.com | In 1913 the Condit Dam went up near the mouth of the White Salmon, supplying electricity to a paper mill but stopping salmon cold.  It’s scheduled to be breached Wednesday. With 700 pounds of dynamite, PacifiCorp contractors will set off a final charge to complete a drain tunnel blasted into the bottom of the dam, creating a hole that will empty the last of Northwestern Lake and begin the dam’s demise.”
