The City of Auburn, Maine has been awarded a $3,514,820 Cooperative Agreement from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Habitat Conservation Federal Grant Program (CFDA 11.463). The project will remove the Littlefield Dam, a former hydropower facility in the Little Androscoggin River, to reopen stream habitat and improve access for endangered Atlantic salmon and other migratory fish. The city will also assess the feasibility of enhancing fish passage at three additional dams in the area. This initiative aims to support the local community by improving public safety, creating recreational and tourism opportunities, and developing fish as an important food source. The project period is from Sep 1, 2024 to Aug 31, 2027.
