Write these folks now - tell them we want the dam taken out - we have had it
studied by Nick Brash, an expert in these structures. His engineering
expertise is unequaled. On September 4th, 2007 he dove on the dam and his
report was very revealing. Poor condition, dangerous, and he recommends
removal.
