Flood Mitigation: Springbank Damn


Recommended Posts

I don't think there is a "good" flood mitigation on the table here. Springbank is a bad option, but it isn't anywhere close to being as bad as the McLean Creek dry dam would be. The McLean Creek option would carve up critical habitat for grizzly bears and native trout species, the Springbank Dam would impact well maintained ranch/farm lands.

 

This group raises some good points, but I'll never support them as long as they advocate for the McLean Creek option. If we absolutely must have one of these two projects, I'd rather it be Springbank.
