The project proposes to construct a fish passage facility at Flat Rock Dam located across the Schuylkill River (WWF, MF) to further efforts in restoring migratory fishes to their historical range in the watershed. A reinforced concrete structure with approximate dimensions of 190 feet long by 30 feet wide, is proposed on the right bank (western shoreline) of the Schuylkill River immediately adjacent to the existing dam abutment. The structure incorporates a series of twenty 10 foot by 10 foot resting bays interconnected by vertical baffles. Flow through the structure will be regulated with auxiliary piping and power operated gates. Two 10 foot wide channels will be excavated in the tail-water area immediately downstream of the dam to facilitate the movement of migrating fish from the left bank (eastern shoreline) area of the river to the location of the passageway on the right bank (western shoreline). A channel, varying in width from 12 to 20 feet, will also be excavated for a distance 180 feet downstream of the fish passage entrance to facilitate fish migration (Germantown, PA Quadrangle N: 7.15 inches W: 17.25 inches).
