Notes & Comments
- General Comments
- Installed as part of Greenbush Rail Project. According to Ed Reiner, the Hingham Town Brook tide gate plan may have been changed. An original plan to install an SRT which was purchased, was not installed, as they later changed the plans to some other type of tide gate that would be opened for fish passage during the spawning season.
