Project Description: The unnamed dam on Manatawney Creek was removed in August 2000, in cooperation with the Upper Pottstown Watershed Association. Streamside habitat improvements were part of the overall project. Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences have a grant with the State of Pennsylvania to study pre- and post dam removal impacts on the stream and biota.
