#Repost @princeton_hydro (@get_repost) ・・・ #FlashbackFriday to 2012 when Princeton Hydro worked with the Farmington River Watershed Association and its project partners to remove the Spoonville Dam. Built in 1899 on the site of a natural 25-foot drop in the riverbed, the dam was originally a hydropower facility. The hurricanes and flood of 1955 breached the dam, opening a 45-foot gap and scattering massive dam fragments in the riverbed downstream. The remnant of the main dam persisted for decades as a 128-foot long, 25-foot high obstacle in the channel. The river poured through the breach in a steep, fast chute that stopped American shad from proceeding further upstream to spawn. The project effort was completed, from initial site investigation through engineering assessment and final design, in just six months. The removal of the dam helped to restore historic fish migrations in the Farmington River (including the American shad), increase recreation opportunities, and improve both the beauty and the safety at the corresponding section of the Tariffville Gorge. #damremoval #restoreourrivers #deadbeatdams  #freeourrivers #riverrestoration Photo credit: FRWA.org
