Construction began around October 13 and will continue for around 2 weeks. An overview of the project entails the replacement of the wooden crib in the left spillway of the dam, placement of a rock weir in front of the left spillway to replace the seasonal boards in the spillway that helps control the water level in Chemo Pond, modifications to the fishway entrance below the dam to make it more efficient in directing fish up the fishway and not to the dam, and removal of the roll dam 1 mile upstream from the Leonard’s Mill dam.
These first pictures are from October 13 and show how the water is being directed away from the left and center spillways and down the fishway and Mill pond spillway. They also show the beginnings of the roads being created to get the heavy equipment down to the dam.
