On October 19th, 2001 the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission revoked a preliminary permit they had granted for the construction of a new dam and diversion project on Northern Idaho's Boundary Creek. Boundary Creek is a premiere creek run and also is critical habitat for bull trout, west slope cutthroat trout, redband rainbow trout, harlequin ducks, grizzley bears, wolves,and mountain caribou. American Whitewater fought the proposed project from its first introduction, and played a critical role in its defeat.
