Project proposes to construct, operate, and maintain a fish passage facility at the Norristown Dam for the purpose of facilitating passage and restoration of anadromous fish species within the Schuylkill River (WWF, MF) watershed. The fish passage facility will consist of a 140-foot long Denil fishway located along and adjacent to the south bank of the river (right abutment of dam) and an excavated channel located immediately downstream of the fishway to facilitate fish movement to the fishway entrance. The project will temporarily impact approximately 0.47 acre and permanently impact approximately 0.04 acre of riverine and open water habitat (Norristown, PA Quadrangle, N: 19.8", W: 13.6").

Project proposes to construct, operate, and maintain a fish passage facility at the Black Rock Dam for the purpose of facilitating passage and restoration of anadromous fish species within the Schuylkill River (WWF, MF) watershed. The fish passage facility will consist of a 130-foot long Denil fishway located along and adjacent to the west bank of the river (right abutment of dam) and an excavated channel located immediately downstream of the fishway to facilitate fish movement to the fishway entrance. The project will temporarily impact approximately 0.48 acre and permanently impact approximately 0.02 acre of riverine and open water habitat including impacts to the Phoenixville Branch Canal (Phoenixville, PA Quadrangle, N: 4.3", W: 1.0").
SPECIAL NOTICES
Availability of Final Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has developed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for the watersheds listed below. The TMDL sets the pollutant loading amounts for impaired waters that are allocated among the sources in the watershed. These TMDLs have been approved by the Environmental Protection Agency and satisfy the Department's obligations under section 303(d) of the Federal Clean Water Act.
