Council hears DEP-ordered repairs after dam inspection
Summary
Engineer Chris Kraft told Yoe Borough Council that the Department of Environmental Protection found cracks in the borough spillway and authorized immediate remedial work, including grouting and vegetation removal; council discussed fence damage and prior surveys.
Council President Samuel Snyder called the meeting to order at 7:04 p.m. and turned to the engineer's report, where Engineer Chris Kraft said the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) inspected the borough dam and identified issues requiring immediate attention.
Kraft told council the DEP flagged cracks in the concrete spillway that will be grouted and authorized removal of vegetation around the structure; council members also noted damage to the dam fence. Councilman Snyder reminded the group that the dam had been surveyed and staked within the last 15 years. No dollar amounts for the repair work were provided in the minutes; Kraft said the DEP had authorized the work but the minutes do not list specific contractors or a timeline beyond an upcoming maintenance visit by a contractor identified in the minutes as "Mr. Rehab."
