The sandy material from upstream and downstream of the dam will first be placed at the appropriate sites. Finer sediments from the auxiliary lock will then be placed on the resulting terrestrial and shoreline areas. The areas will then be groomed shaped, seeded, and riprapped consistent with adjacent shoreline.
