Summary

Description

The Norton Mill Dam removal project restores access to 17 miles of aquatic habitat within the Jeremy River and eliminates aging infrastructure damaged repeatedly by flooding. In doing so, the project helps protect downstream property and benefits species such as the Eastern Brook trout, Atlantic salmon, sea-run brown trout, sea lamprey, American eel and river herring. Removal also eliminates dam safety liability and protect downstream property.
