Work is nearly completed on a $25 million reservoir remake on Bells Gap Run in Blair County. Pa.
The improvements will bring the dam up to safety standards required by the state Department of Environmental Protection. The upgrades also will allow for a cold-water discharge into Bells Gap Run.
“I am thrilled that the dam will now have a bottom release of cold water into Bells Gap Run,” Little Juniata River Association President Bill Anderson said.
