Description
Description | The Brandywine River Restoration Trust (BRRT) has begun removing a portion of the DuPont Experimental Station Dam (Dam 6) to restore fish passage within the Brandywine River. Kleinschmidt Associates provided engineering, permitting, and design support from feasibility through construction, including a solution that repurposes part of the dam for shoreline stabilization while maintaining a downstream utility crossing and improving fish passage. The project also aims to reduce flood risk and includes educational initiatives to honor the river's industrial legacy. |
