69 Dams Removed in 2020 to Restore Rivers
69 Dams Removed in 2020 to Restore Rivers American Rivers releases annual list including dams in California, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin for a total of 23 states. Nationwide, 1,797 dams have been removed from 1912 through 2020. Dam removal brings a variety of benefits to local communities, including restoring river health and clean water, revitalizing fish and wildlife, improving public safety and recreation, and enhancing local economies. Working in a variety of functions with partner organizations throughout the country, American Rivers contributed financial and technical support in many of the removals. Contact information is provided for dam removals, if available. For further information about the list, please contact Jessie Thomas-Blate, American Rivers, Director of River Restoration at 202.347.7550 or [email protected]. This list includes all dam removals reported to American Rivers (as of February 10, 2021) that occurred in 2020, regardless of the level of American Rivers’ involvement. Inclusion on this list does not indicate endorsement by American Rivers. Dams are categorized alphabetically by state. Beale Dam, Dry Creek, California A 2016 anadromous salmonid habitat assessment stated that migratory salmonids were not likely accessing habitat upstream of Beale Lake due to the presence of the dam and an undersized pool and weir fishway. In 2020, Beale Dam, owned by the U.S. Air Force, was removed and a nature-like fishway was constructed at the upstream end of Beale Lake to address the natural falls that remain a partial barrier following dam removal. -

Greenways Plan Planning Process
GREENWAYS PLAN The Lehigh Valley is experiencing a development boom that threatens to destroy much of what residents find appealing. The surrounding market areas of Philadelphia, New York and New Jersey exert strong economic, demographic, social and environmental impacts on the areas resources. The creation of a sound greenways network would help preserve many of the remaining features Lehigh Valley residents treasure. The development of the Lehigh Valley Greenways Plan (Map 14, located in the pocket at the end of this document) involved many partners and groups that are involved in greenway and conservation efforts for some of the region’s major waterways and natural areas. The LVPC worked closely with these entities to encourage the creation of greenway and trail linkages, the long-term preservation and protection of priority natural resources, and the enhancement and creation of natural, recreational, cultural, historical and scenic areas of interest in the Lehigh Valley. Shochary Ridge — Lynn Township Planning Process The Lehigh Valley Planning Commission (LVPC) staff worked with the Study Advisory Committee, municipalities, counties and Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) to define a vision for the Lehigh Valley Greenway network. The purpose of this vision is to identify greenway components, provide connections and prioritize areas for implementation. Through public meetings, surveys, mapping exercises and hours of staff consultation, the Lehigh Valley Greenways Plan emerged. The following paragraphs detail the planning process from visioning through prioritization. 57 Envision the Greenways Network As mentioned in the Introduction, the Study Advisory Committee (Committee) was created to provide insight and input into the planning process, comment on information and mapping developed by the Lehigh Valley Planning Commission (LVPC) staff, act as a resource for localized activities pertaining to open space and greenway planning, and suggest alternatives and make recommendations to the Lehigh Valley Greenways Plan.
