Fish Passage/Dam Removal

Partners for Fish and Wildlife logo

Working in partnership with the interagency Vermont Dam Evaluation Team, the Partners Program is assessing and evaluating dams for removal in the White and Lamoille River drainages.

Dam removal combined with in-stream habitat restoration will restore access to historical spawning areas and allow for needed seasonal migration of fish to upstream and downstream areas. Several projects are in the design and fund-raising stage. Expected costs for each of these projects range from $50,000 to $250,000.
