Luther Aadland would be a great place to start. He works for the Minnesota DNR and has pioneered work in dam removal. The program and his contact info can be found in the link below:

We've just begun working on dam removal/modification in Iowa and have developed some preliminary plans to monitor the stream improvement. I am happy to share our information if anyone is interested.

In Kane County, IL, a water quality and biological monitoring program was designed and conducted for a dam removal project on Brewster Creek. The project webpages provide more information. I believe there was a QAPP for this project, which was partially funded by a 319 grant. If the information you seek cannot be found through the project webpages, let me know and I can look up contact information.

What issues do you want to measure? The document below is a good start,
and I have many more publications on this topic if you get me some
details.
