Like we don't have enough problems already.

Check out these condo’s and marina. Under normal conditions this would be a nice development but look at the marina’s relationship to the dam. This isn’t a low head dam but one violent sob when it’s open. It will literally be a stones throw away from the marina. :shakehead

Here is a pic of the open dam.

Here is a cool pic of the area. On the upper right side of the bridge you can see a rectangle marked off in the water. The upper line is the safety catch cable for the dam. The left line is a row of pilings that will come out. This area is where the marina is going in. This gives you a good perspective of its relationship to the main dam.

The water going off to the left goes to the smaller south channel dam while the middle goes to the power plant.

The pic of the dam open is at low flow. Down stream is still very diveable at that flow.

Here is another pic of the area with the dam's closed.

I am glad it is you and not me that will be trying to work out the logistics for that mess Gary.
