Four Lakes Task Force update

Work continues at Secord Dam on the primary spillway. The two main areas of construction are demolition of one of the spillway bays and placing concrete in the downstream lower slab. In the spillway chute, crews are installing baffle blocks, which are big blocks of concrete used to reduce the force of water as it flows. Crews also started to install the downstream steps.
