    Between the P4 Lower Embankment Project and the Fish Passageway Project that has “broad public support” well, I’m not sure which is more of a waste of tax payer money.

    From the June 2011

    REVIEW PLAN LOCK AND DAM 3 FISH PASSAGE

    The project/study is not likely to have significant negative interagency interest and has
    significant support from the State of Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources;

    The project/study may be controversial: the PDT has conducted at least two public outreach
    meetings and has demonstrated broad public support for the project, however there is still
    some concern regarding Asian Carp and the ease of which they could travel via a fish passage;

    The total project costs are approximately $23,000,000.

    The public has participated in two public meetings for the project. No major controversy exists, and the public is generally supportive of the project. There has been some
    minor discussion regarding Asian Carp.

    X2 what a waste and destruction of prime spawning grounds and clam beds.

    i’d like to see or here from the public people that are in support of this waste of tax payers money! dont we have road and bridge problems that could be worked on or many other things like a ASIAN CARP BARRIER not a ASIAN CARP LADDER!!
