Here are some photos and other resources media can freely use to accompany stories on the Clean Water Act Section 401 rollbacks:

  • Dosewallips River, Olympic National Forest, WA
    The state of Washington avoided harm to the Dosewallips River when developers withdrew a proposed dam that could not meet a Section 401 condition. The litigation went to the Supreme Court and it could be considered the most famous Section 401 case.
  • Spaulding Dam, Yuba River, CA
    The Section 401 process is currently underway to negotiate a positive outcome for the state of California and users of the Yuba River there.
