Dredging began in early September along Cedar Avenue in Scranton to remove sediment from the stream channel and its banks.
The effort was part of a corrective action plan required by the DEP.
The $17,000,000 rehabilitation project began in October 2023 to upgrade the structure of the 152-year-old dam.
The company expects to complete the project in June of next year.
