| BACKGROUND: |
Crescent Lake Dam Restoration Project is part of the Natural Resources Conservation Service and Emergency Watershed Protection (NRCS - EWP) program. The April 2014 storm event caused the 72-acre lake embankment to overflow, which caused the dam to fail. The dam failure resulted in downstream flooding, which left large deposits sediments and debris. The proposed action from the NRCS is to repair the breach in the embankment and install a concrete emergency spillway structure. They intend to sod and vegetate all disturbed areas and remove debris and sediment from the downstream channel to Michigan Avenue to prevent future flooding.
This project, which will be completed in three phases, will impact three parcels or property. The drainage and access easements and the temporary construction easements are all vital for this project to move forward. Phase One, scheduled to begin in June 2015, will consist of de-watering. Phase Two, which will begin in July 2015, will focus on debris and sediment removal. The final phase, project construction, will begin in September 2015 and will conclude in October 2015. |
