Exelon Generation, LLC, has constructed a fish passage facility at the Black Rock Dam in Phoenixville, Pa. Black Rock Dam is located along the Schuylkill River in Chester County, Pennsylvania. |
| |
 |
Fish passages assist the upstream migration of American shad during their springtime spawning run up the Schuylkill River, which has been hindered since the dams were built in the early 19th Century.
This site contains a brief history of the dams, a description of the American shad and related species, an overview detailing different types of fish passages, and a pictorial progress summary of the facilities’ construction.
The information contained in this site is an expanded version of the informational kiosks located at the Black Rock Dam. For additional links to useful information, click here.
