S37 (1979 Session) and made <br />$90,000 available to the entity for immediate repairs, <br /> <br />Since then the entity, with the State Engineer's staff recommendations, <br />has decided to carry out a feasibility study. The proposed study would <br />be addressing all the issues raised in the report prepared by Bruns, <br />Inc., and make recommendations as to what work would be needed for <br />the existing dam structure. <br /> <br />A proposal for a study from the engineering firm W.W. Wheeler and <br />Associates has been received and evaluated by the Board and State <br />Engineer's staff, The total cost of the study is about $100,000 and <br />possible state participation should be about fifty percent of the <br />above amount. <br />
