Jenney Grist Mill Fishway Rehabilitation
Scope: The Town of Plymouth Department of Public Works Environmental Management Division will be rehabilitating the Jenney Grist Mill Fishway. The existing pool and weir fishway will be retro-fitted with pre-fabricated sections of aluminum Alaskan steeppass fishway. The concrete structure supporting the fishway will be repaired and lined with stones to match the foundation at the Grist Mill.
This project will provide much more efficient passage at this site than the existing fishway and allow alewife and blueback herring the opportunity to move upstream to their spawning grounds each spring.
