SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The sponsoring local organization concurs with this determination and agrees with carrying forward the proposed project. Structure 2 no longer meets the NRCS safety and performance standards for a High Hazard Class structure. The proposed action is to rehabilitate Structure 2 to a full-flow grade stabilization structure, meet safety requirements, and extend its life for 100 years. The existing principal spillway would be removed, the auxiliary spillway would be abandoned, the top of dam would be lowered to remove storage capacity and a broad-crested weir chute spillway would be built. Existing embankment removed from the structure would be placed in the existing auxiliary spillway and graded to drain.
