Description
Scope/Content: Abstract: The purpose of the proposed project is to remove or modify Upper York Creek Dam and appurtenances, remove accumulated sediment, and restore the local ecosystem structure. Removing or modifying the dam would improve fish passage for the federally listed steelhead, would reduce the potential for future downstream sediment releases and fish kills, and would allow for the restoration of approximately two acres of degraded riparian and riverine habitat surrounding Upper York Creek Dam. Study Authority -- This report is being prepared as an interim/final response to the study authorization contained in Section 206 of the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 1996 (Public Law 104-303), as amended, which reads as follows: "(a) The Secretary may carry out an aquatic ecosystem restoration and protection project if the Secretary determines that the project -- (1) will improve the quality of the environment and is in the public interest; and (2) is cost-effective" The existing studies are described in the main report. There are no previous real estate reports.
