HEBRON – The Department of Natural Resources has determined that the Cushman Dam, on the Bark River in the SW ¼ of Section 24, T.6N, R.15E, Town of Hebron, Jefferson County has failed, is in very poor condition and is hazardous to the public. The dam’s owner, Mr. William Cushman of Jefferson requested assistance to remove the dam which causes the hazard. In partnership with Mr. Cushman, the Department of Natural Resources has agreed to assist with the dam removal.
The proposed Department action is not anticipated to result in significant adverse environmental effects. The Department has made a preliminary determination that an environmental impact statement will not be required for this action. This recommendation does not represent approval from other DNR sections, which may also require a review of the project.
Copies of the environmental assessment that led to the DNR's preliminary determination can be obtained from Robert Davis, Water Management Engineer, Lower Rock River Basin, (608) 275-3316. Robert.Davis@wisconsin.gov.
Public comments, either written or oral, on the environmental assessment are welcome and must be submitted to Robert Davis no later than 4:30 p.m. December 15, 2008. Comments may be submitted either verbally or in written form.
