Dam Removal, East Branch Passumpsic River, East Burke, Vermont
Removal of this deteriorating dam will improve natural flow regimes, free-flowing river conditions, water quality and temperature, sediment release and transport, and connectivity resulting in re-opening 99 migratory miles on the East Branch of the Passumpsic River. In addition, 3.4 acres of shrub-scrub wetland will be enhanced by removal of the dam and subsequent restoration work. Total project cost is $325,000.
This was a Waters to Watch project in 2018!
