Dam complex SHPO coordinationDetermination of eligibility (DOE) nearly complete Likely eligible for National RegisterRemoval likely “adverse effect” but mitigated
Archaeology SHPO coordination doneDOE underway – no shovel testing required
NEPA Update
Cultural Resources

“Level 1” – based on records and site visit; no testing
Look for indicators for contamination Recommend testing locations in power
house and former transformer sites
NEPA Update
Environmental Site Assessment

Deconstruction Plan Multi-step plan with controlled
drawdown of reservoir Minimizes risk for County Ensures dam removal and fish
passage when complete
