Reclaiming Ohi:yo'- Restoring the Altered Landscape of the Beautiful River Ohi:yo' Restoration and Resiliency Projects Members of the Seneca Nation's Watershed Resources Working Group are involved in various restoration and resiliency projects for our Ohi:yo'. The Seneca Nation's Fish and Wildlife Department in particular engages in projects related to building artificial habitat, repopulating our river's Walleye population, and building trenches to help land locked fish. Fighting for the Water: Fracking Wastewater in Ohi:yo' In 2016 the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PA DEP) began deliberating a 1,000-barrel/day of unconventional gas drilling wastewater (Frack Wastewater) disposal facility in Potter County proposed by Epiphany Allegheny LLC. In response to the news of these fracking plans, our Seneca people again fought for our people, our communities, and our Ohi:yo'.

Construction of Kinzua Dam: View of the Concrete Gravity Structure

Members of the Seneca Nation of Indians, Society of Friends, and Congress stopped at the construction site of Kinzua Dam on their way to the Cornplanter Grant on September 15, 1962.

The concrete gravity portion was flanked on both sides by large mounds of compact earth, mined nearby and then rolled until compact.

The Kinzua Dam Project 2

Kinzua Dam is a combination concrete gravity structure and a rolled-earth embankment dam. The two rolled-earth embankments that sat on either side of the concrete gravity structure was constructed between October 15, 1960 and September 29, 1961. The earth embankments alone were made up of over one-half million yards of earth. The construction of Kinzua Dam in Warren, Pennsylvania was completed in December of 1965.
