What will happen to existing private structures that are impacted by the higher dam releases?
Work is proceeding as quickly as possible to identify and address structures at risk. Modifications to four river crossings (Browns Mountain, Salt Flat, Poker Bar and Biggers Road) have been completed and are open to traffic. One house has been acquired and will be removed. Other potentially impacted structures are being located on aerial photographs and owners are being contacted to determine structure type and to identify any issues not evident from the photographs. It is our goal to contact all property owners along the river from Lewiston Dam to the confluence of the North Fork Trinity River to discuss their individual situations prior to implementing the higher releases.
