Temporary Dam Forces St Mary River Into Tunnel
At the St Mary river site on July 13 engineers completed a temporary dam across the river to divert all flow into the diversion tunnel. The downstream water dropped two to three feet as fish stranded on gravel bars, while upstream levels rose and water moved into the tunnel channel. The operation, using two bulldozers and key workers like Andy Zuback and Francis Armstrong, aims to enable construction of the main 186 foot dam and a cofferdam downstream to impound water for a large reservoir.
