| dc.description | INTRODUCTION: On 18 May 1980, Mt. St. Helens, located in southwest Washington (Figure 1), erupted with devastating force causing a huge sand flow down the Toutle River to the Cowlitz River that eventually emptied into and formed a large bar or delta in the Columbia River near its junction with the Cowlitz, reducing the authorized navigation channel depth of 40 ft to no more than 15 ft. Sand flow has been adopted as a descriptive term for volcanic eruptive and untrained materials that traversed and deposited in the Toutle River Basin and the Cowlitz and Columbia Rivers. Subsequently, the US Army Engineer District, Portland, has been working to restore Columbia River navigation and preeruption levels of flood protection along the Cowlitz River. | - |
