  "projectDescription": "The Flat Rock and Huroc dams are located on the Huron River, MI and are the first significant fish passage barriers upstream from Lake Erie. The Flat Rock Dam, a complete barrier to fish passage, including invasive sea lamprey, is located immediately upstream of the West Huron River Drive bridge/railroad bridge and has other infrastructure, including an oil/gas pipeline associated with it. A fish passage structure on the Flat Rock Dam was installed in 1997 but is no longer in operation because it was ineffective. The Huroc Dam, located approximately 1000 ft downstream of Flat Rock Dam, is a small concrete dam that was installed for infrastructure purposes which are currently unnecessary, but serves as a partial barrier to fish passage. These two barriers restrict fish passage and limit production for a number of LEC species of common concern including lake sturgeon, walleye, and white bass, and have downstream impacts to hydraulic connectivity and habitat. This project will explore the feasibility of enhancing fish passage (connectivity) upstream for these species through a number of alternatives, providing access to 16 miles of mainstem habitat on the Huron River, and 17 additional miles of tributary habitat while recognizing the risks associated with sea lamprey colonization in the system.",
