July 24, 2008 - Two dams will be removed from the Yellow Breeches Creek to improve the passage for migratory fish, according to a news release from the Chesapeake Bay Program.
The Cumberland Valley Chapter of Trout Unlimited received a $50,000 grant from the program to open more than 4 miles of the stream.
That money will be coupled with a state grant to pay for the removal of the Spangler's Mill and Green Lane Farms dams as well as repair the areas.
Neither dam is the one that 70-year-old Leon Clymer of Oklahoma City drowned at while tubing on the Yellow Breeches Creek earlier this month, said Tom Baltz, past president of the Cumberland Valley Chapter of Trout Unlimited.
