The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is accepting comments through Oct. 19 on an Environmental Assessment Worksheet related to the rehabilitation of the Lake Bronson Dam, located within Lake Bronson State Park in Kittson County.
The purpose of the project is to improve the safety of the Lake Bronson Dam, which is in poor condition. The project includes the removal and replacement of the 85-year-old concrete spillway and associated Kittson County Highway 28 Bridge. (Note: The DNR is actively monitoring conditions at the current structure in an effort to ensure public safety prior to completion of the project.)
A copy of the EAW is available on the project page of the DNR website.
