ABSTRACT
Performance monitoring may be needed during any phase of the decommissioning process (reservoir drawdown, construction, post process of decommissioning). It’s may be necessary in order to quantify and evaluate the environmental impacts caused by a dam decommissioning project, even though many of the impacts would likely be identified and partially quantified throughout the dam removal evaluation process. Environmental impacts may be characterized as desirable or undesirable, and are classified as direct, indirect, or cumulative.
