   Paul,

   &#160;&#160; yes, I stand --partially-- corrected. The dam and the associated powerhouse on the Mushamush were abandoned by NSP due to the&#160;projected expense of repairs to it. But the structure was eventually removed for environmental reasons.

   &#160;&#160; Another abandoned and dismantled hydro dam in N.S. that comes to mind is at The Falls on Waughs River. The site now has a new fish ladder. The falls are spectacular, especially at high water!

           &#160;&#160; A number of smaller hydro dams in Nova Scotia have been decommissioned over the last few decades. They include ones on Liscomb River (Powerhouse Falls), East River (near the community of East River), Mushamush River (Clearland), Medway River (Salter Falls), Barrington River, and elsewhere. But all of these closures took rplace because of economic reasons, not environmental ones...

              You may have seen this re opening of the Penobscot to the sea for the first time in almost 200 years.&#160; The benefits to river ecology are pretty profound.
             </div> Any initiatives or opportunities for this kind of remediation in NS?
