The environmental review of a 90-year-old dam in central Washington’s Alpine Lakes Wilderness will start soon. Eightmile Dam is considered a threat to people and property downstream near Leavenworth.
Fans of rapper Eminem, whose movie
“You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow. This opportunity comes once in a lifetime.”
Now, the public has an opportunity to comment on the environmental review of the aging Eightmile Dam.
The issue traces back to 2017 when the Jack Creek Fire burned. Subsequent flooding and erosion caused water to flow over the earthen top of the dam.
