Give us a try!
Welcome back to the new NEFF. Take a break from Twitter and Facebook. You don't go to Dicks for your fly fishing gear, you go to your local fly fishing store. Enjoy!

Damn, that's a lot of dams. You guys really expect me to earn my pay, don't you???
My new hobby is collecting dam cores (pieces of concrete "cored out" for analysis). I have 3 so far with # 4 on the way
They make great paperweights!

Hey, I happen to have a t-shirt with that exact thing on it!"Mr. Spinner, tear down this wall...."
What ????
It's my 8 year old's favorite! Which reminds me that beaver trapping season ends Monday meaning we can tear out the dam at Lubber's Run and the Musky in Byram very soon any volunteers?

Seber Dam gets notched tomorrow (Wed. 2/11) at 9 am. This will de-water the pond and allow us to do some survey work for the full removal required suddenly by DEP Dam Safety. We come back in two weeks for 2 - 3 days of work to complete removal and restoration of upstream pond. Plants go in the ground March or April, weather dependent. I'll post pix tomorrow night.

We take each dam one at a time. Some like the YMCA dam on the upper SBR we've had zero resistance. The reason is that there are no homes nearby, so nobody "misses their pretty waterfall". There is also no mill on site that might be seen as historic. Lastly, the owners paid for the initial notching and study work and no public monies have been used for that dam.
For Seber, no public problems as the dam is a mess and the former swimming hole filled in long ago.
We had plenty of complaints from locals when we removed Gruendyk last year, but almost all have come forward to say they were wrong and they are now thrilled at the end result.
Finesville Dam is next in line and while we've heard some local opposition, when we held our public meeting last December 6th, there were exactly zero people speaking out in opposition although written comments could be submitted through Jan. 31st (I don't have results back yet on comments).
Other dam removal projects are still too far away to make public, so we aren't hearing more right now. Also, as we do more and more, the public becomes educated about the positive effects of removals and we get lesser problems (we hope - but that seems to be the case so far).

De nalgas!
What was this dam used for? These little dams are so silly! It's not like a little pond can generate that much power of any kind. However, I fully support flooding tens of thousands of acres for the purpose of generating hydropower. Who needs beautiful canyons and valleys anyway. Plus, tailwater fishing is awesome.
Again, I shall take the lion's share of the credit.
As always, UN-Dam It.

You know I was 7 years old in grade school when I discovered that my name wasn't JESUS CHRIST.
Up until till there if you wanted to speak to me (such as me mom would) it was Jesus Christ!
For an example;
Jesus Christ get down from that tree....
Jesus Christ wipe the mud from ye shoes....
Jesus Christ go into the parlor and leave me alone.....
...and I don't own an immigrants Cap myself.
As always, Jesus Christ himself.
