Down our end of the province, where the pickerel and smallmouth black =
bass roam, some of these dams are desirable barriers to keep these =
unwanted monsters away from native stocks.

yes, I stand --partially-- corrected. The dam and the associated =
powerhouse on the Mushamush were abandoned by NSP due to the projected =
expense of repairs to it. But the structure was eventually removed for =
environmental reasons.=20
Another abandoned and dismantled hydro dam in N.S. that comes to mind =
is at The Falls on Waughs River. The site now has a new fish ladder. The =
falls are spectacular, especially at high water!=20

Hi Dusan=20
I don't know about the others but the one on the Mushamush=20
was for environmental reasons. If it was up to NS Power=20
they would have left it to rot away! I had some first hand knowledge=20
of how that worked!=20
Enjoy the summer=20

A number of smaller hydro dams in Nova Scotia have been =
decommissioned over the last few decades. They include ones on Liscomb =
River (Powerhouse Falls), East River (near the community of East River), =
Mushamush River (Clearland), Medway River (Salter Falls), Barrington =
River, and elsewhere. But all of these closures took rplace because of =
economic reasons, not environmental ones...=20

You may have seen this re opening of the Penobscot to the sea for the =
first time in almost 200 years. The benefits to river ecology are =
pretty profound.=20
Any initiatives or opportunities for this kind of remediation in NS?=20
