fish_finder Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 This actually happened a few years ago. Here's a link to a Trout Unlimited video about the project: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildeye rainbow Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Fantastic!! There should be some real thought into the value of some of these dams & whether they should be maintained or decommissioned. There are numerous dams that have outlived their original purpose but have done immeasurable damage to fisheries. In London, there is the Springbank Dam that in my opinion, should have been decommissioned. However, the federal, provincial and City of London decided to rebuild the gates & refurbish the dam at a cost of $7 million dollars++. And when they tried to operate the gates of the reburbished dam, the hinge bolts on one gate sheared and snapped. It is now sitting idle with the gates lying flat on the Thames R bottom & the lawyers are involved trying to blame whomever. Of course, the cost to get this dam functioning again will probably match the costs to date. Could you imagine what $14 mil could do for fisheries restoration? Anyway, the function of this dam is to provide a headpond for canoeists and the rowing club. It should have been decommissioned. So seeing stories like this in the Grand R watershed is quite positive. WR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
