About this project

ARPA Grant: $150,000 Approved: November 22, 2022 The City of Rochester will use the funds to prepare final designs, a sediment management plan, permitting, and Historic Preservation Act compliance documents necessary to support the removal of the Gonic Dam and the Gonic Sawmill Dam. Dam removal will be designed to restore natural flow regimes to increase resilience to extreme weather events and removal would restore 12.8 miles of free-flowing river, leading to improved water quality, natural sediment transport/nutrient flow, and habitat connectivity.
