NEW BRUNSWICK – The New Jersey Statewide Dam Removal Partnership is offering two  free online information sessions on dam removal in New Jersey. For dam owners, consultants and contractors who work on removal projects, or those simply interested in the process, these sessions will provide information from presenters with extensive experience in dam removal. (We are very interested in reaching dam owners, please pass this along to any dam owners you may know.)   Registration for the November sessions can be done on the pages linked in the descriptions below.  The sessions are free, but you must register. December registration information will be available shortly.

Meet the Partners Making Dam Removal Happen in New Jersey November 18,1 – 2 p.m. (Session opens at 12:45 for technical issues and Zoom instructions.)

Dam removals can be complicated projects. It can be a challenge to understand permitting, community relations, historic considerations, funding hurdles and the ecological implications of your project. Join The New Jersey Statewide Dam Removal Partnership for a free, one-hour, online session, Meet the Partners Making Dam Removal Happen in New Jersey. This will be a great opportunity to connect with experienced people who can help you to understand the various roles that partners can play in assisting in the process of dam removal from start to finish. Presenters will give a 5-minute overview of their organization. We’ll have time to take some of your questions.

NOTE: These information sessions do not take the place of the two-day Project Manager Training, we are hoping to hold that training in Spring 2021.
