Description

Developed/sponsored by the Water Science Institute to focus ongoing efforts to develop cost-effective, sustainable dam removal strategies. The dam removal forum has been developed for stake holders engaged in removing, regulating, monitoring, and funding dam removal projects to discuss their professional responsibilities and promote a wider understanding of current practices, policies, and objectives. The forum will primarily focus on the role of Pennsylvania practitioners in dam removal and examine how the Commonwealth approach promotes local and Chesapeake water quality goals. To support these objectives representatives of local, state and national organizations will provide their perspective and expertise with the overall goal of developing sustainable, cost-effective removal strategies that promote multi-layered environmental benefits. This event is supported by funding by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection's Growing Greener Program and the cooperation of the Susquehanna River Basin Commission.
