McCoy-Linn Dam Removal Project Overview Meeting June 27

ClearWater Conservancy and Fish and Boat Commission are hosting an overview meeting for the McCoy-Linn Dam Removal Project at the Milesburg Community Center at 7:00 p.m., June 27.

In partnership with Fish and Boat Commission, Department of Environmental Protection, American Rivers, National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, Natural Resource Conservation Service, and the Penn State Center for Watershed Stewardship, ClearWater Conservancy plans to remove McCoy-Linn Dam in 2007.

Removing the dam will restore approximately 4,000 linear feet of stream habitat and riparian corridor and 1.5 acres of associated wetlands within the current impoundment, and develop public access to 1.3 miles of a contiguous and publicly-owned section of Spring Creek.

Katie Ombalski of ClearWater Conservancy and Scott Carney of the Fish and Boat Commission will provide an overview of the project. Representatives of DEP will also be available to answer questions.

Milesburg Community Center is located at 101 Mill Street in Milesburg.

For more information contact Katie Ombalski, Conservation Biologist, ClearWater Conservancy, 814-237-0400 or send email to: katie@clearwaterconservancy.org .
