Fimrelte notes a 1975 incident prompted a new look at CCC dams. A CETA crew begins work on the Edwin Ginter farm dam near Arcadia, training in felling, spraying and cleaning riser pipes. Dam health may trigger next year’s major remediations, protecting farms, buildings, soils and roads against loss.
