Before
a “preferred” river restoration option is selected by the
state, community input is being sought on the best way to
proceed. The Neponset River Watershed Association, along with
the Boston Environment Department, the Milton Conservation
Commission, the Mass Department of Conservation &
Recreation, the Mass Department of Fish & Game, and the
Lower Mills Merchants Association have convened a Neponset
River Restoration Citizens Advisory Committee, or “CAC,”
to evaluate options. The CAC is broadly representative of the
affected neighborhoods of Dorchester, Mattapan, Hyde Park, and
Milton, and also includes representatives of upstream and
downstream interests. Its goal is to develop a set of
consensus recommendations regarding the ecological restoration
of the Lower
Neponset
River
. Although the Neponset Watershed Association favors the
option of full dam removal, we look forward to working with
the diverse interests on the CAC to develop a plan of action
which everyone can support.
