Board approves $3,500 to widen E3 Basin control structure opening
Summary
The board approved MRI Construction Proposal #606 for $3,500 to widen the E3 Basin control-structure opening to maximize outflow; the district engineer will provide before-and-after photos and explore adding a manual gate.
The River Ridge board approved MRI Construction Proposal #606 on March 24 to widen the opening on the E3 Basin control structure to the maximum allowable width to improve outflow. The motion passed unanimously: "On MOTION by Mr. Blumenthal and seconded by Mr. Schultz, with all in favor, MRI Construction Proposal #606 to widen the opening on the E3 Basin Control Structure, in the amount of $3,500, was approved."
District Engineer Charlie Krebs described that the structure adjacent to the FPL easement is slightly shy of the maximum width and that the proposal calls for using a concrete saw to widen the weir. The board discussed whether a manual open/close gate could be installed; Krebs will provide before-and-after photographs and investigate installing a manual gate near the control structure.
