Gallipolis Riverfront Slump Blamed on Seepage and Clearing
Seepage from saturated earth along the Gallipolis riverfront is blamed for damaging slides from the pump station to Vine Street. Residents cite bank clearing last fall ahead of flood risk from the new Gallipolis Dam at Bur along with a historic sand foundation and flood-induced soaking as causes. Riprap holds upper riverbank while the edge slips into the river, threatening the channel to Gallipolis Island.
