During our survey today, we tore holes in three dams. Crews will return to remove them completely and dispose of debris in accordance with state standards and will be inspected before payment is released.

Today we surveyed east of Madison Street in the run and tore holes in three beaver dams, the FIMAN gage reflected the drop in water. We identified several dams and dead trees that will be removed. Crews will start just outside of town, east of Madison Street and work their way west in the run, toward Mollies' Branch. Debris and trees have to be removed completely from the run, tied together parallel to the run or chipped and removed according to the standard set forth by the state. The guidelines specify what type of trees can be removed. After completion, a state inspector must sign off on the job.

Dam bustin' !

Stormwater Manager Hal Lowder and StRAP contractor Daniel Beard surveyed Soules Swamp west of 701 and located several areas that need cleaning out and located some small beaver dams. We breached those and will return with the excavator and crew to remove them and dead trees and debris. Tomorrow we will be east of 701 conducting surveys. CLEAN OUT TIME !
