<br />. If it is replaced, a lock would be an asset for Mississippi boaters to venture further upstream as <br />well as upstream residents to venture down to the Mississippi. The more use we make of our <br />rivers the better they will be kept. The more people that use and view the rivers the more people <br />will actively protect them. <br /> <br />. If structural and geotechnical evaluation of the dam proves that it is sound, allow it to remainin <br />place and provide the recreational pool above. Otherwise repair and stabilize the dam to <br />maintain the value. <br /> <br />. Is it in need of replacement or are people just concerned since the 35w bridge collapse. We need <br />to know what is the life expectancy of the dam <br /> <br />. Is it necessary for it to be there? <br /> <br />. If it is not failing why replace it? <br /> <br />. It should last another 50 years. <br /> <br />. Keep up the maintenance of present dam and make repairs as necessary. <br /> <br />· Leave as is. <br /> <br />. None <br /> <br />. Repair, do not replace. Assess how much pollution is put into environment when replacing versus <br />repairing. A 39 year old dam is not that old. <br /> <br />. Replace if needed to keep Rum River water levels at navigable level <br /> <br />. Replace it if it's becoming nonfunctional. (and utilize some hydro-power recovery from a new <br />dam.) <br /> <br />. Replace it when needed, with something similar that will not impact the appearance differently <br /> <br />. The dam is necessary to maintain a recreational pool on the Rum River. Replacement should be <br />based on the serviceability and safety of the current dam. If indicated by those criteria, <br />replacement should be funded and completed. <br /> <br />. The is a decision for professionals to make in terms of how safe it is, etc.. The major question <br />would be the cost. <br /> <br />. The upstream pool doesn't affect me, but taking out the dam would be devastating to some. <br /> <br />. To be honest, I haven't thought about it. I am neutral on replacement, but if it is deemed <br />necessary would not object. <br /> <br />. Undecided <br /> <br />. Unless there is a real need I do not think it should be replaced. <br /> <br />. What is wrong with the existing dam? If it's still usable, then simply maintain it. <br /> <br />. What problems exist that maintenance and repair won't solve? <br /> <br />. Who cares <br />
