2017 Lock 10 Debris Removal Project-City of Zanesville
General
Problem Description
The City of Zanesville is requesting financial assistance to remove a significant log jam at the Lock 10 Dam on the Muskingum River. The log jam has caused erosion and sedimentation, which has threatened scouring along the Lock 10 Dam. The mass of the debris also presents a potential risk of a dam breach, which would lead to significant flooding.
Solution Description
