The Mobile Engineer District has released the Draft Feasibility Report and integrated Environmental Assessment (Draft FR/EA) of a study that aims to restore fish passage between the Gulf of Mexico, Mobile Delta and Lower Alabama River and the Cahaba River. The motivation for the study is the long-term degradation of biodiversity and hydrology on the Cahaba River, Alabama's longest free-flowing river, which begins near Birmingham and meanders southward until it enters the Alabama River. At the heart of the study is a pair of locks and dams on the Alabama River: Claiborne Lock and Dam at Mile 72.5 and Millers Ferry Lock and Dam at Mile 133. Millers Ferry Lock was completed in 1974, while Clairborne Lock came online in 1970. |
