    1. Do You Have Any Examples Where a Dam Was Decommissioned but the Bridge -Atop the Dam Remained?

    379 Ronka Road Worthington, ON P0M3H0 [email protected] OntarioRiversAlliance.ca 10 October 2019 Howson Bridge and Dam Committee c/o Sean McGhee Director of Public Works Township of North Huron By email: [email protected] Dear Mr. McGhee: The Ontario Rivers Alliance (ORA) is a Not-for-Profit grassroots organization acting as a voice for several stewardships, organizations, and private and Indigenous members who have come together to protect, conserve and restore healthy riverine ecosystems. In response to your 23 September email, the ORA is pleased to provide the Howson Bridge and Dam Committee with answers to their questions as follows: 1. Do you have any examples where a dam was decommissioned but the bridge -atop the dam remained? There is a pedestrian bridge over top of the Listowel Dam. The stoplogs in the Listowel Dam were permanently removed in 2015. Following the removal of the stoplogs, heavy equipment was used to sculpt the banks and make a more gradual transition within the park to the restored river valley. In addition, a second bridge was added, facilitating a “looped” trail in the park. The Listowel Dam, with all the stoplogs in place. “A World of Healthy River Ecosystems” Page | 2 10 October 2019 The Listowel Dam and pedestrian bridge after the boards were removed and the construction was complete. Note the channel below the dam had been straight and now it includes a meander and riffle-pool sequence. Upstream of the dam, the park lands transition to the river’s edge. In the near future, the Municipality of North Perth is planning to remove the vertical concrete parts of the Listowel Dam but keep the abutments and pedestrian bridge.
