  "projectDescription": "This NOAA funded project is part of a larger restoration effort in the Flint River that is key to the revitalization of the riverfront in downtown Flint, Michigan.  In-river components of the project opened 25 miles of streams to fish passage, improving in-channel habitat, and supporting spawning runs of lake sturgeon and walleye. Flint River has been degraded by damming, channelization, dredging, and urban development.  Existing issues which have been addressed include degraded instream habitat, barriers to fish movement, elevated water temperature, and water quality impairment. NOAA funding contributed to the removal of the Hamilton Dam, the first barrier on the river above Saginaw Bay.  The project also restored disturbed riverbank adjacent to the dam.",
