GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS: The purpose of this project is to construct a full width ramp with a series of 31 weirs and pools. These weirs are designed as an upstream-pointing arch with side slopes which concentrate the flow towards the center of the channel. Further design elements include a 4-foot-wide V-notch in the weir and 1.5-foot diameter boulders emplaced on the weir. The 31st weir (upstream most weir) will be constructed entirely of concrete the intent is to protect the less robust rock emplacements by breaking up incoming ice. Construction of the fishway will involve partial demolition and excavation of the spillway and underlying bedrock to anchor the fishway to the rock and replace the existing spillway. On the downstream end of the fishway the existing channel will be removed for a length of 150 feet. A four foot-wide embedded low-flow channel in the center of the fishway has been designed to provide sufficient depth of water and flow during normal low flow conditions to allow fish passage. A series of parallel transverse rock ridges that consist of 1’6” foot diameter stones will be evenly spaced along the length of the ramp to provide a series of pools and falls. This low-flow channel and rock ridges are designed to allow for the passage of fish and other aquatic life would occur. Contract duration is estimated at 10 months. The estimated cost range is between $1,000,000.00 and $5,000,000.00.
