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.
