Project Description: Steelhead trout cannot pass through the Springville (Scobey Hill) Dam, a 40-foot high and 338-foot long structure, which originally functioned as a power generating facility. Since the dam is no longer being used as a power generating facility, there is a desire by resource agencies to enable steelhead trout from Lake Erie to pass to the upstream reaches and tributaries of Cattaraugus Creek. The feasibility phase will provide background studies would evaluate the economic and environmental benefits associated with the development of a fish passage system at the dam.
