The Fate of the Boardman River Dams
This is a link to the Boardman River Dam Project. This site holds information on the dams located on Boardman River in Grand Traverse County and Kalkaska County.
Boardman River Dams Project Mission:
"To engage all interests in assessing and recommending the fate of the dams ...based upon a thorough analysis of options, including long and short-term economic, social, environmental, aesthetic, transportation and ecological impacts upon the community, individuals and riparian owners."
The Boardman River Dams Project engages all interests to recommend the fate of four dams (e.g. retain, remove, modify, etc.) on the Boardman River in Grand Traverse and Kalkaska counties. The Project is entering its final year, and the Committee will be requiring input from as many community members as possible for its recommendation to be completed by December 2008. This is an extremely important issue that will have great effects throughout the entire area. The Boardman River Dams Committee meets on the fourth Tuesday of every month from 6:00 until 8:00 pm at the Grand Traverse County Civic Center; everyone is welcome to attend.
