Historical <strong>Bellamy</strong> <strong>Timber</strong> <strong>Crib</strong> <strong>Dam</strong><br />
(1935)<br />
A timber crib dam is is an an interlocking framework of of timbers filled<br />
with stones. This was the the earliest and simplest type of of dam, easy<br />
to to build where wood and stones were plentiful. It It was the the most<br />
<strong>com</strong>mon dam built in in the the 1700s.

CORPORATE WETLANDS RESTORATION PARTNERSHIP ANNOUNCES BELLAMY MILLS DAM REMOVAL IN DOVER<br />
Private Corporations Join Federal and State Environmental Agencies In Effort to Restore <strong>Bellamy</strong> <strong>River</strong> Spawning Ground for<br />
Smelt and Herring<br />
Dover, NH – An innovative partnership of private <strong>com</strong>panies joined Federal and State agencies today in Dover to announce the<br />
removal of the <strong>Bellamy</strong> Mills <strong>Dam</strong>, a 19 th century head-of-tide timber crib dam that obstructed the passage of migratory fishes to<br />
important spawning grounds on the <strong>Bellamy</strong> <strong>River</strong>.<br />
The project was unveiled during a “floating media conference” on the <strong>Bellamy</strong> <strong>River</strong>, which included Corporate Wetlands<br />
Restoration Partnership (CWRP) Chairman Ronald B. Laurence, Congressman Jeb Bradley, U.S. Environmental Protection<br />
Agency Wetlands and Information Branch Chief Carl Deloi, National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration Director Rollie<br />
Schmitten, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Supervisor Michael Bartlett, NH Fish and Game Assistant Director Daniel Lynch, NH<br />
Department of Environmental Services Assistant Commissioner Michael Walls, Coastal Conservation Association Director Peter<br />
Whelan, and Great Bridge Properties Owner Chris Davies.<br />
The $35,000 dam removal and river restoration project, which was <strong>com</strong>pleted in early November, is the first step in what the NH<br />
Fish and Game Department hopes will be a long-term effort to re-establish fish passage to the <strong>Bellamy</strong> <strong>River</strong> through a<br />
<strong>com</strong>bination of the installation of fish passage devices and the selective removal of dams. The <strong>Bellamy</strong> <strong>River</strong> system is currently<br />
the only major river system within the Great Bay Estuary that does not allow fish movement past the head of tide due to dams.<br />
The removal of this partially breached dam will allow for unhindered access to additional spawning habitat for rainbow smelt<br />
and river herring.<br />
“The Corporate Wetlands Restoration Partnership NH chapter is proud to play a key role in this very important river restoration<br />
effort,” said CWRP Chair Ronald B. Laurence. “We believe this is an excellent example of what can be ac<strong>com</strong>plished when<br />
private corporations partner with Federal and State agencies in an effort to restore critical aquatic ecosystems.”
NH CWRP - November 9, <strong>2004</strong><br />

“The <strong>Bellamy</strong> Mills dam removal and restoration project is an important first step in an effort to restore the fragile ecosystems<br />
in one of New Hampshire’s main waterways,” stated First District Congressman Jeb Bradley. “This project is a testament to<br />
successful partnership between private <strong>com</strong>panies and Federal and State environmental agencies, and truly represents the<br />
New Hampshire way of ac<strong>com</strong>plishing projects - through collaboration and innovation.”<br />
“Wetland and stream restoration projects such as this one bring many benefits to marine life in Great Bay and beyond. The<br />
<strong>Bellamy</strong> <strong>River</strong> was the last river to be opened up for increased spawning habitats around Great Bay. We look forward to<br />
witnessing more aquatic restoration in the future,” said Carl Deloi, Chief, Environmental Protection Agency Wetlands and<br />
Information Branch.<br />
“Commercial and recreational fish species throughout the Gulf of Maine will benefit tremendously from increased access to<br />
spawning habitat being made available on <strong>Bellamy</strong> <strong>River</strong> and other river restoration projects in New Hampshire’s Great Bay,”<br />
said Rollie Schmitten, Director of Habitat Conservation for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.<br />
“As a professional biologist I can attest to the fact that this is the right thing to do. It is the right way to spend hard-earned<br />
conservation dollars,” said Michael Bartlett, Supervisor, New England Field Office, US Fish and Wildlife Service. “This is<br />
something that is hugely beneficial to the fishery resources of New Hampshire.”<br />
“This project demonstrated the power of partnership in river restoration activities,” said Michael Walls, Assistant<br />
Commissioner of DES. “ In addition to the wonderful contributions from corporations, anglers and NOAA, our DES dam<br />
maintenance team conducted the actual deconstruction making the project extremely cost effective.”<br />
"The removal of the <strong>Bellamy</strong> V dam is a significant ac<strong>com</strong>plishment because it provides an area of critical habitat for such<br />
species as rainbow smelt," said NH Fish and Game Assistant Director Daniel Lynch. "The <strong>Bellamy</strong> <strong>River</strong> watershed is a vital<br />
part of the ecosystem of the Great Bay Estuary and because the river has this value, it is important to continue to improve the<br />
fisheries and fish passage."<br />
CWRP’s goal is to facilitate corporate interest, involvement, and support for the state’s aquatic resources. This includes<br />
raising corporate in-kind services and dollars to leverage Federal matching funds. In New Hampshire, the program will help<br />
fund habitat restoration projects, specifically targeting priority projects developed by the State. CWRP NH chapter private<br />
and non-governmental members include Jacques Whitford, Vanasse Hangen Brustlin Inc, FPL Energy, Keyspan Energy,<br />
Normandeau Associates, Public Service of New Hampshire, O’Neil Griffin Bodi Inc, McLane Graf Raulerson & Middleton,<br />
Ducks Unlimited, Antioch-New England Graduate School, Osram Sylvania, and The Nature Conservancy.
