This Nevius Street Dam Removal video version has had the musical accompaniment deleted in the event that my Fair Use copyright requests to use those songs are turned down (you can hear the musical Part 1 [ • Nevius Street Dam Remo... ] and Part 2 [ • Nevius Street Dam Remo... ] versions of this video on KZfaq until at least early-September 2013 so check those out if you like).
The Nevius Street Dam removal on the main stem of the Raritan River in central New Jersey was completed between July 24-31, 2013. This project was the third of three planned dam removals (the others were the Calco Dam and the Robert Street Dam - see those videos on KZfaq also by searching for the video under those dam names) that re-opened nine miles of historically significant spawning grounds for American shad and other migratory fish on the Raritan River and the lower 1.5 miles of the Millstone River (in addition to numerous tributaries). This fish passage restoration initiative was managed by John W. Jengo of MWH on behalf of the Kinder Morgan, Inc., who is funding the project.
