Summary

[edit]
Description
English: These Hurricane Sandy resilience projects will remove the White Rock and Bradford Dams, assess the Potter Hill Dam Fishway on the Pawcatuck River and remove the Shady Lea Mill Dam on the Mattatuxet River in Connecticut and Rhode Island. This will restore connections of streams to regional river systems, enhance fish passage and reduce the risk of flooding and dam failure during future storm events. Two dams will be removed and one fishway will be repaired or replaced on the Pawcatuck River in Rhode Island and Connecticut. One dam will be removed from the Mattatuxet River in North Kingstown, Rhode Island where 0.5 mile of stream access will be restored and a new natural riparian area will be created in a former water impoundment. This will benefit river herring and American eel.
