“Coordination with your community is vital in determining how the IDNR will proceed to maximize public safety and ecological benefits on the public water. IDNR is available to help your community understand these options and the community’s responsibilities associated with each option as appropriate. Please understand that if a community does not select an option in a timely manner, the IDNR will move forward with full dam removal.”
