       We live right opposite the Earthen Embankment Dam at the Oxbow
       in Fairport.

       It's a fantastic view and I am looking forward to the day the
       Cottonwoods are removed opposite, so we can see right across the
       valley to where the canal bends at Bushnell's Basin.
       ECNA Co-Founder, Doug Kucmerowski, says I should be able to see
       this far once the trees on the Oxbow Lake Dam are removed.
       Here's a couple maps that show this section of unsafe embankment
       in Perinton

       It's all a tree-covered UNSAFE Embankment Dam from the Oxbow
       Lake end down to Rt 490 as it crosses the Erie Canal, and near 2
       miles long. It has a couple berm type supports where roads cross
       over the waterway, most of this section is raised earth type dam
       if you look.

       We, my wife Carol & I, were able to watch the Canal Corporation
       pile driving all that metal sheeting wall support as emergency
       repairs were being made to a weak earthen embankment section
       that was shored up a few weeks ago.
       That was most interesting!
