Document Description
The project entails the lowering of Schmidell Dam crest 2.0 feet. Lowering the crest will reduce the dam's height from its toe to less than 5 feet and will not allow the impoundment of greater than 50 acre feet of water behind the dam. To lessen the risk of damage to the dam the project will leave the valve hardware in place to allow for control of flows. The work will be carried using non-motorized hand tools and all debris will be cleaned up.
