The project proposes to construct a multiple-purpose earth and concrete dam with river pumping facilities, three navigation locks, and a fish ladder. The project will enhance the aesthetic and recreational potential of the area, provide a flood free environment, eliminate extensive flood losses, improve movement of boat traffic, enhance water quality in the Charles River Basin and improve fish passage. Temporary inconveniences during construction will occur. Offshore disposal of polluted material will have to be removed for site preparation.
