December 27, 2020 Update: The Hudson River Habitat Restoration’s Recommended Projects were authorized for construction in the Water Resources Development Act of 2020 for a total cost of $44,638,000 (Federal- $33,479,000 and Non-Federal-$11,159,000).
November 19, 2020 Update: Gen. Scott A. Spellmon, USACE Commanding General and 55th U.S. Army Chief of Engineers, signed the Hudson River Habitat Restoration Ecosystem Restoration Chief’s Report representing the completion of the study and making it eligible for congressional authorization. The Chief’s Report recommends three individual ecosystem restoration projects including Henry Hudson Park, Schodack Island Park and Moodna Creek within the 125-mile study area from the Federal Lock and Dam at Troy, NY to the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge. These projects would restore a total of approximately 22.8 acres of tidal wetlands, 8.5 acres of side channel and wetland complex, and 1,760 linear feet of living shoreline with 0.6 acres of tidal wetlands. The plan would also reconnect 7.8 miles of tributary habitat to the Hudson River through the removal of 3 barriers along Moodna Creek. Final documents found to the left.
