Said he does not understand the rationale for removing a low-head dam, citing anticipated reductions in water and outdoor recreation opportunities.

Scott County District Two Magistrate Rob Jones said he’s worried about irrigation for nearby farms and recreation.

“You take something like this out where people do get to enjoy the outdoors. Once its gone, there’s not going to be a whole lot of water here. So, that’s gonna take the opportunity for them to get out, and enjoy the outdoors, so I don’t understand the state and their reasoning for wanting to take it out,” Jones said.

Washburn said that removing the low-head dam will not significantly impact the water levels within the creek.
