Description

Removal of both dams is important for recovery of two federally-listed endangered freshwater mussels – clubshell (pleurobema clava) and snuffbox (epioblasma triguetra), as well as 56 recorded species of greatest need of conservation (SGNCS) according to the west virginia natural heritage program. Removal of the dams will reconnect important habitat for these mussels and their aquatic host fish. IT will also address recreational safety hazards the dams pose and eliminate the need for operation and maintenance costs. The funding requested in this proposal is to support engineering designs and stakeholder engagement associated with the projects.
