The Columbia Lake Dam once stood here. Its removal in 2019 was one step on the way toward returning free flow to the Paulins Kill. More dam removals and waterway restoration projects in northwest New Jersey are getting assistance from $7.5 million in funds from the state DEP.Steve Novak | For lehighvalleylive.com

The grants announced this week by the state Department of Environmental Protection come from a program that redistributes settlements from polluters elsewhere in the state.
The funding is going to four groups with plans for seven projects on four of the region’s waterways, including planning for the removal of two dams in the middle of the Warren County seat.
