What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources began the Cloverlick Dam removal project in Clermont County on October 27, 2026, as part of Ohio Governor Mike DeWine’s H2Ohio initiative. The defunct low-head dam had degraded stream habitat by disrupting natural water flow, which caused fish populations to decline. Removing the dam will return Cloverlick Creek to a free-flowing condition and improve water quality.
