Removal of the Mill Pond Dam, the Lowest on the River, Will Restore a Free-flowing River and Increase Tidal Influence, Improving Water Quality and Fish Habitat Upstream. Dam Removal Will Also Provide Community Benefits, as the Dam Does Not Currently Meet Regulations to Safely Withstand a 50-YEAR Storm Event. the Oyster Reservoir Dam, the Next Barrier on the Oyster River System, Is a Water- Supply Impoundment. Currently, This Dam Has No Upstream Fish Passage. Dam Removal Is Not an Option, as It Serves as a Water Supply for the Town of Durham and the University of New Hampshire.

How to read these numbers

One award, start to finish: Everything here is this single award's whole record — signed, amended, paid — not a fiscal-year slice. The by-year charts elsewhere split an award across the years it was committed; this page keeps it whole.
Committed vs. ceiling: Committed is what the government has legally promised on this award so far. Contracts can also carry a ceiling — the maximum if every option is exercised. Unspent ceiling is headroom, not money owed.
Paid out: The cash actually disbursed against this award. The gap from committed is the disbursement pipeline: promised, not yet cashed.
The ledger: Each transaction is a signing event — an action that created or changed the award, dated the day it was signed — not a payment. Negative amounts are real: money de-committed at closeout or renegotiation.
The money bar: One bar, the award’s whole arithmetic: paid out, then committed, not yet paid, then .
