Millstone Valley

Correction:
The Weston dam on the Millstone River will be removed in Aug.-Sept 2017, funded by some left over $$'s from the massive Cyanamid superfund clean-up.
nly the dam will be removed, the mainly nineteenth century remnants of the historic van Ness Mill will be left in place. 
After about 250 years this dam removal will also enable migratory fish, such as shad, to swim up the Millstone and its Beden Brook and Six Mile Run tributaries to hopefully spawn.
The next impediment to the migration is the Carnegie dam. A fish ladder there could open up the upper Millstone Watershed.
