Join us for the Ramshorn Pond dam rehabilitation public information session held on May 14, 2014, at PARE Corporation in Foxboro, MA. The session will cover critical aspects of the project, including additional evaluations, proposed design approaches, and design considerations. Key topics will include the upstream membrane option, toe drain impacts, design safety factors, cost opinions, and recommended approaches. We will also discuss site plans, spillway designs, public access, water control, construction phasing, and important detour information. We welcome your questions and participation.
