yes
Thought I recognized it. I did the budgeting for removal for USFWS and the watershed org several years ago as they were getting Superfund settlement monies for the removal at the time. I do know there was a land preservation that happened first and now the dam can come down.

It hasn't gone out to bid yet. So no idea. Also, I don't always know when dam removals go out for bid as I don't spend much time doing bids for projects, we have ample work via word of mouth along with many repeat clients in the Northeast. But it would be nice to do more dam removals here in NJ.
