A multi-organizational stream restoration effort is underway to remove Roaring River Dam in Jackson County, Tennessee.  Busting out the at-risk dam will reconnect aquatic species and make the waterway safer for public recreation. Work crews notched the dam July 31 to lower the water impounded upstream of the dam, and then began removing the structure Aug. 1. The project is expected to be completed by Aug. 4, 2017.
