Each modification requises site- specific consultality studies and cost- benefit analysis. The tradeoffs between hydropower generation and d ecological benefits are real, but creative equicering can often find win- win solutions. For instance, installing a fish bypass with a small hydropower turgine can pay for construction while equiling passage.

Permitting also plays a role. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commissione (FERC) relicensing process for non-federal dams often requires fish passage and habitat improwiments.

In 2023, FERC approved a 50- year license for a dam on the Yadkin River that included a new fishway, sediment management, and $10 million for habitat recuation.
