How much will the aquatic ecosystem restoration cost and how is it being funded?
The total cost of the restoration was $7.7 million. The $5 million federal contribution to the project is being paid for through Army Corps of Engineers Section 206 funding. The non-federal match of $2.7 million came from the City of Pittsburgh and Three Rivers Wet Weather Demonstration Program. The match was met through in-kind services and grants and paid for the design for the entire project, phase 1A construction, and re-vegetation and invasive plant control.
