Here are some more photos of the ongoing dam construction at Leonard’s Mill from October 17-23. They show the removal of the rotting wooden crib and reinforcement of the coffer dam. There are tons of water flowing through the dam right now. The coffer dam had to be reinforced to hold back the additional 7 inches of rainfall we had last week. There is still some leakage of water through the coffer dam causing the construction team to add submersible pumps to move the water away from the left spillway. You can see in some of the photos that there is leakage through the dam itself. It is noted in the plans for the project that these leaks are to be plugged to slow the water loss from the pond in the future. I hope the project is not delayed for long because of the rain. Here is a video of the old crib being removed. https://youtu.be/1avdIOSYD4g
