Robert Street Dam Removal - Part 2

Part 2 of the dam removal video of the Robert Street Dam, one of the most significant obstructions to migratory fish passage on the main stem of the Raritan River in central New Jersey, which was successfully completed in August 2012. This project constitutes the most significant dam removal thus far in the Raritan River watershed and was the second of three planned dam removals (the first was the Calco Dam, which can be viewed at "   • Calco Dam Removal 2011  ") that will ultimately re-open 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.
