Citizens want new Gilboa Dam study Saturday, September 17, 2011 By Edward Munger Jr. (Contact)
SCHOHARIE COUNTY — A Schoharie County watchdog group is demanding an independent review of the 85-year-old Gilboa Dam’s post-flood condition and asking whether the city of New York shouldn’t consider building a new one. Representatives of Dam Concerned Citizens are also questioning why county officials weren’t made aware of a 200-foot notch cut into the concrete structure’s spillway, or of a wooden bulkhead that failed during flooding from Hurricane Irene. The concerns were aired during a meeting of the Schoharie County Board of Supervisors Friday in Carlisle Town Hall. The county supervisors called on U.S. Rep. Paul Tonko, D-Amsterdam, to help get the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers or another agency to clear out the tons of debris sitting in creeks and streams that could cause more flooding come springtime. Sherrie Bartholomew, citizens president, said the group wants those responsible for the dam — the New York City Department of Environmental Protection — to provide complete details on the dam’s condition before and after the Aug. 28 deluge.....................>>>>......................>>>>..........................https://www.dailygazette.com/news/2011/sep/17/0917_dam/
think bigger picture....the pity little choices and 'advances' of our little locals are just drops in the flood of what is wrong in NYS and the country....NYS seems to be an ovum that a bunch of sperm swim to and then procreate to hopefully create more and more 'little Greeces', forget little Italy and Chinatown....daddy Bloomberg and the rest of the 'victim making' bunch are doing quite well in their pleb facial slapping until they loose their fight, give up and dont know any better.....
I dont think the masses understand the water supply/energy supply system and get really pissed off at those patronage leaders who like to ear tickle and promise security/food/water etc via fear
McCarthy is only one in and out of the pot and kettle calling each other black......
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
