As a result of this inspection it has been determined that the dam is in need of certain repairs. The nature of these proposed repairs are twofold; first, to arrest the spalling and general deterioration of the concrete surface of the structure, and secondly to prevent the present flow of water beneath the dam, a flow which has seriously undermined portions of the structure. The Engineer's Estimate for these repairs, as prepared by Lawson & Associates, is in the amount of $210,000.00. Of this amount, $100,000.00 has been secured through the Department of Natural Resources of the State of Indiana's Flood Control Revolving Fund, in the form of a 10 year loan. (This loan shall be repaid through CCIF, at an interest rate of 1 %). It is for the balance of these repair costs, $110,000.00, that we approval of an appropriation from Revenue Sharing. These costs as within the original estimate for this work, as outlined in the St. Corridor Study, published and submitted to the Council in December Your favorable consideration in this matter would be appreciated.
