Matilija Dam Removal meeting (September 25, 2008) - Raymond Powers
Thursday meeting (October 2, 2008). Please visit the website (matilijadam.org) to review the information/reports on the slurry disposal sites. Aspen packed a lot of information into their report and graphics. We have posted new data and some old reports from 2003. Levee design plans are also there, as well as the information from the giant reed meeting back in July. We appreciate your input!

OVN has an article... an excerpt: Relocating the removed sediment in the amount of 2 to 6 million cubic yards will be no mean feat. The people who attended the meeting apprehensively sat through the first half hour of slide show presentation reviewing the history of the dam and asked a few questions as the anxiety among them grew more vocal.

The Matilija Dam (December 13, 2006) - Mike Didj
Attention Ojai: We will begin demolition of that damn Matilija Dam February 1st 2007. My budget does not have room for kickbacks, bribes, red taped BS or any other unnecessary expenses. It's all about reducing overhead not increasing it, kind of a 180 from the norm.
