Description: Scope/Content: Abstract: Although many dams have been removed in the United States, very few published environmental impact studies accompanied the removals. The lack of studies documenting the actual impacts of dam removal makes it necessary to produce a document that outlines and summarizes the benefits and impacts associated with dam removal, including its effects on water quality, aquatic biology, and physical stream characteristics. Therefore, the National Cooperative Highway Research Program initiated this research project with the objective of producing a document to provide transportation departments, regulatory agencies, resource agencies, and the public with a tool to help assess the value of low-head dam removal projects as a stream restoration and mitigation option. This study focuses on removal of low-head or small run-of-river dams.
