The non-profit group American Rivers will be using more than a million dollars in federal funds to remove ten dams in Pennsylvania. The money from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law will be used to get rid of small, obsolete dams in the Susquehanna River Watershed as well as the Ohio River. A spokeswoman for the group says the waterways will be improved by allowing trout to go upstream to spawn and that habitat for feeding endangered freshwater mussels will also be reestablished. Projects planned on the Susquehanna River include the Brandtsville Dam on Yellow Breeches Creek in Cumberland County as well as the Drury Dam on Drury Run in Clinton County.
