       Three Documents Explain the Entire Canal Embankment Program

       A reminder from a group of "friends" of the ECNA... while they
       debate semantics we want to share the information and pass it
       along.
       [attachimg=1]
       Here are web links to the THREE best documents that describe
       exactly what the Issues are that plague the Erie Canal these
       days.  They also provide the keys to proper management of those
       flood safety problems that are being applied in the western half
       of the US.

  HTML https://www.usbr.gov/assetmanagement/docs/Canal_Vegetation.pdf
  HTML https://www.usbr.gov/assetmanagement/docs/Canal_Animals.pdf
       These are from the Dept of the Interior and are a SET of
       Guidelines dealing directly with Embankment Dam Safety and what
       are the leading cause of issues...

       As you can see... it's Woody Vegetation & Animal Burrows... all
       issues we have along the NYS Canal System
       [attachimg=3]
       These are the best summary documents available to understand why
       our own Erie Canal Embankments are UNSAFE and need to be
       cleared, , inspected then repaired, and finally have proper
       grass vegetation replaced. I suggest everyone living near the
       Canal System take the time to read them...

       And this video on the issue of Animal Burrows on Canal Systems
       says it all

       You can find that here: Dept of the Interior, Bureau of
       Reclamation... they did a video contest and that was the winner.
