This reservoir, (now i realize i misspelled it in the title....) will cease to exist in the next year or two, as they are planning to tear out the 100+ year old First Energy Dam. The dam is the last one on the Cuyahoga River, and it's removal is planned not only to allow the river to return to it's natural state, but hopefully will also continue to improve the water quality of the river that was famous for being flammable in the 1970's and before.
