About

Beginning in 2001, the removal of the Billington Street Dam marked the first coastal dam removal in Massachusetts.

This precedent in stream restoration would lead to the removal of 4 additional dams along the 1.6 mile stretch of Town Brook, allowing for fish passage and habitat restoration.
