| Comments |
This dam was breached during a storm event in 1990. At the time, it was assumed that the breach would allow passage of fish. Since the breach, bank erosion on the right side of the breach has worsened and velocities have increased. The erosion is threatening a major sewage line, efforts to stabilize the bank with rip-rap have failed. DGS has secured funds to remove the dam. |
