Deadline Solutions built a software package that would monitor the Eel ladder water flows and provide SCADA access for pump control.  

In our rivers of the East Coast many creatures depend on solid ecosystems for survival.  The American Eel is no different.   Deadline Solutions was contracted by a “Power Generation Facility” to provide a solution to help monitor and assist the American Eels past barriers created by our modern world.   With assistance from Biologists, Civil Engineers, Electricians and Software Engineers, the American Eel can be assured safe passage to among  the  rivers of their past generations.   Generating inexpensive renewable power is imperative to the future of the United States.   At the same time, being able to do this and be good stewards to the environment provides a much added benefit.

The American Eels help the Atlantic coast ecosystem by eating dead fish, invertebrates, carrion and insects.  For the balance to continue forward, the young Eels move from the Oceans to the St. Lawrence to live out their adult lives.   The 182ft Eel Ladder provides safe passage for the American Eel to navigate around power located on the St Lawrence River Power Damn during their summer migration upstream to the Great Lakes.
