Please give a brief project description below. *

The Beaverdam Creek Dam is a privately owned dam and is a complete
barrier to upstream movement of aquatic species on the Beaverdam Creek.
As outlined in this application, the dam is proposed to be removed to
restore connectivity of aquatic populations, lotic stream habitat, and other
ecological functions of Beaverdam Creek. Other purposes include reducing
upstream flooding and restoring streambanks and riparian habitat.
The Beaverdam Creek Dam is of concrete construction and has a
structural height of approArnately 12 ft and a length of approArnately 65 ft.
The dam is currently not maintained, and the normal pool water surface
elevation is at times affected by one low-level gate outlet that passes
through the spillway section of the dam and is consistently open. In the
past this gate has breached, and the impoundment and sediment has
drained through the gate. Currently the gate is clogged with debris and
flows are going over the top of the dam. The project will remove and
demolish the dam structure. If the natural rock and concrete from the dam
meets the proper specifications and is free of metal, it will be used for
stream bank stabilization or other in -stream structures. Excess rock and
concrete will be taken to a certified disposal site in coordination with the
City of Canton. No mitigation credit is being sought for this project.
Please give a couple of dates you are available for a meeting.
