The first week of December brought rain, ice, wind and snow to the Dawson Lake project but Bob Chamberland and crew continued to stay busy winding up the work around the dam. Read below for more information.

{above & below} The crew is putting the finishing touches on the top of the trash screen that the crew set in place on Sunday. The galvanized steel screen sits atop the standpipe that runs about 40' to the bottom of the dam. A portable acetylene torch was brought in to cut the necessary holes in the top.
{above} The crew was putting the last of 20 quad axle dump truck loads of rip rap limestone (650 tons) on the face of the dam. This has been a long and tedious process that covered the entire 800' length of the dam.
