– 2023-04-28 Petit Dam Stability Analysis by Geosyntec (109 Pgs)
* NOTE: Above Stability Analysis Report provided to reviewers is NOT the full 132 Page Rpt originally submitted by Geosyntec. One missing page specific to the Original Report was conspicuously absent, and partially detailed previous Non-Approved attempts by Geosyntec to qualify the Dam as having acceptable stability. No explanation as to why that and other previous Analyses by other Engineers like JJ&G (see Pg 14) that actually showed Stability FAILURE, were not included, nor the fact that GSD subsequently notified Big Canoe that the Petit Dam did not meet Stability Requirements, and then shortly thereafter put the Dam under Non-Compliance for failure to meet Stability Requirements (and yet subsequently for 25 years no enforcement has followed, nor has the order to begin Rehabilitation Construction been complied with). It is hard to understand how failing to provide this information as part of the Information Packet to the Engineers that are bidding on this job is fair to the engineering firms involved in the Requested Reviews, nor to the process.
