Richmond, IN 47374
Attn: Kara Noe&The City of Richmond:
FlatLand Resources is pleased to submit this proposal for the Weir Dam Removal Project located in Richmond, Indiana.
This project is a critical component in the restoration of the Whitewater River and enhancement of its recreational and
ecological value to the community. Our team has great depth and understanding of dam removals and stream restoration
and we are invested in this project's vision regardless of our involvement in the construction process.
Our team is committed to the restoration of our natural resources. As environmental planners, ecological restoration
specialists,outdoor enthusiasts and engineers,we understand the importance of these types of projects(as well as other
restoration efforts)not only from a cultural perspective,but also from a habitat perspective.Natural spaces provide outlets
for the public to enjoy the mystic beauty of the land.These natural spaces in-turn become living laboratories for the public
to learn and appreciate what nature has provided. Natural spaces also provide habitat for not only migratory land birds,
but also other terrestrial and aquatic flora and fauna. Removing dams nationwide has proven to be an effective means of
reinvigorating aquatic life in our rivers.
We have two team members that have completed Rosgen training courses in stream restoration design; Philip Tevis--all
four levels and David Heilman--levels I&II. This exemplifies the commitment by our staff and company to the science and
understanding of stream restoration. We have been able to utilize this knowledge and expertise while studying,permitting,
designing and/or removing/modifying 15 dams in Indiana and Ohio. It has become our passion to understand rivers'
histories,tendencies,and the way dams and other modifications have changed how sediment deposits along the riverbed
and banks. We believe that our team's intricate knowledge of not only stream restoration,but this particular stretch of the
Whitewater River(through local partnerships and survey work already completed)makes us uniquely qualified to carry out
a project that will become a valuable asset to the community.
While our expertise lies in designing solutions for dam removal and stream restoration projects, FlatLand Resources
specifically has the capacity to physically implement these same projects. Our stream restoration professionals will bring
their knowledge and expertise directly to the construction site as builders, not advisors or construction managers. Our
team has been building stream restoration and dam removal projects for over fifteen years, and are one of the only
construction firms to specialize in this type of project in the State of Indiana. We are confident that no other firm in
the region possesses the level of local knowledge and understanding regarding this project, nor could they manage to =
organize,evaluate,and comprehend the sheer volume of data that our team has been able to collect over several years of
observation. The project team at Flatland Resources is heavily invested in this project as designers,community members,
and hopefully builders.
Respectfully Submitted,

The Weir Dam, located along the Whitewater River near downtown Richmond, IN is a nine foot tall low-head dam built
more than a century ago. The right bank of the river(along Sim Hodgin Parkway) in the vicinity of the dam is held in place
by a stone masonry wall built on top of a concrete slab.There is a control joint in this concrete slab which will be sawcut,
leaving the wall and foundation in place. A small concrete overlook will be removed (circled in red), and a new railing
added to the top of the wall, where sidewalk is in place. On the opposite bank, part of Veterans Memorial Park,the old
lock system for the dam remains in place albeit severely overgrown with large shade trees. Metal stairs provide easy foot
access from a frequently used, but unofficial walking trail that leads south,to the city park. It is our recommendation that
the locks be removed for safety reasons. •
A large scour hole exists directly in front of the dam which is at least 12 feet deep, and likely deeper in the center of the
channel.The contractor must exercise caution in the vicinity of the dam and avoid undue risk.

1)Staging: FLR will stage all equipment in the pull off area SW of the Richmond Ave bridge along Sim Hodgin Parkway
(or alternate location).
2)Access:FLR will create an access point just upstream of the dam,scraping the streambank back to a stable 3:1 slope and
stabilizing the haul road with filter fabric and#2 stone.
3).Dam Removal: FLR will work to remove the dam from the right bank to the left bank.A breach will be made in the dam
to lower the backwater pool,allowing for the safe removal of the dam.
I)After the dam is breached in a staged water drawdown, FlatLand Resources will work with a certified biologist
to conduct a mussel relocation to save as many exposed freshwater mussels as possible in the backwater of
the dam.They will be relocated to appropriate habitat in the nearby river channels. Efficient and effective
coordination between Flatland Resources,the biologist and volunteers, is essential.
II)Two excavators with jackhammer attachments will be utilized to rubblize the dam,with loose debris being
• removed from the waterway daily. The entire dam, lock system,and all associated rebar and concrete debris will
be removed from the channel entirely.Some loose concrete, rebar,and other debris is located in the channel near
the dam as is,the contractor will also be responsible for this material.The left bank(lack system)will be restored
as an earthen bank,while the right bank will contain the sawcut concrete slab.All exposed rebar will be removed.
Ill)An excavator with a bucket will be used to move the remaining rubblized material to the river bank.
IV)The excavator will then load the rubble into tri-axle trucks to be hauled off site and disposed of at a legal
dumping site.
4)'Bank Stabilization/Clean Up: FLR will tear out,the#2 stone and regrade the river bank to a stable 3:1 slope. Erosion
control fabric and grass seed will be laid down to the specifications oultined by the City of Richmond. FLR will then
demobilize,ensuring the staging area is also returned to pre-construction conditions.

IS&W DAM REMOVAL -: T. : kAA z _ ;";:li `
Through the city limits of Muncie, there were five low head dams, and only two currently serve their intended
purpose;the water company utilizes one to ensure a perpetual supply of water for the City, and the other is a
sewer line that carries nearly half of the Cities refuse across the river. For decades, FLR and other concerned
citizens have been setting the stage for removal of the now defunct dams, and modification of the two still
serving a purpose.
In 2016, FLR began the long-awaited study Looking at the removal of three low head dams and modification of
a third in Muncie. The study included historical analysis, utilities analysis, cross sections, a Longitudinal profile,
sediment testing, utility and permitting agency coordination,two public meetings, and pursuing funding for the
removal and modifications of the dam. FLR was able to secure funding from three sources, including local(The
Community Foundation), state (IDNR LARE), and federal (US Fish.&Wildlife Service) agencies. This feasibility
report was the first of its kind in Indiana.
FLR was awarded the construction contract in 2018 for the removal of two dams (Indiana Steel & Wire and
the McCullough Park dam), and the modification of one (Waste water dam). After permitting the project,
demolition of the two dams began in the summer of 2019, with the construction of a rock riffle following soon
after. FLR has helped secure funding for the modification of the Indiana American Water dam and a feasibility
study of the High Stree dam.

After the completion of the removal of two low head dams and the modification of a third on the
White River in Muncie, momentum built to modify the Indiana American Water dam located on
the east side of town. Due to this dam providing a perpetual supply of wter for the city and its
residents, complete removal was an option. However, modifying the dam became a reality after a
LDNR LARE, USFWS, and a local foundation grant were secured for the project.
The completed dam modification will result in a constructed riffle approximately 120'W x 135'L.
Stone fill to be placed in the channel will be revetment rip rap or boulders/glacial till, sized 24"
or larger. Revetment will only be used in the bottom layer of the constructed riffle, near the
existing low-head dam, to ensure all exposed or nearly exposed material is glacial till. The more
"worn" glacial till provides better quality habitat for aquatic species and ensures no sharp edges
for waterway users. The fill material will total 634.5 CYS, or 952 tons of stone. Fines and smaller
stone may be present in fill material, it is anticipated that most of the smaller material will wash
downstream within the first year or two after completion.
Construction is slated to start in the winter of 2022 and take approximtely three weeks to
complete.

FlatLand Resources contracted with the IDNR for a dam removal project in Orland, IN. The existing
earthen dam, with two concrete spillways, was built around 1890, and served as the provider of
hydroelectric power for the town. With the dam no longer serving its intended purpose, the DNR
decided to make this removal project a showcase of the benefits of dam removal.
The removal of the ten foot tall earthen dam opened up fish and recreational passage that has
been blocked for the last 120 plus years. Restoration activities included within the channel include;
installation of toewood and geolifts, four riffles, a vane arm to act as a grade control structure to
prevent a head cut forming upstream of the dam post construction. The project was completed in
the summer of 2018.

Through the city limits of Muncie, there were five low head darns, and only two currently serve their intended
purpose; the water company utilizes one to ensure a perpetual supply of water for the City, and the other is a
sewer line that carries nearly half of the Cities refuse across the river. For decades, FLR and other concerned
citizens have been setting the stage for removal of the now defunct dams, and modification of the two still
serving a purpose.
In 2016, FLR began the Long-awaited study Looking at the removal of two low head dams and modification of a
third in Muncie. The study included historical analysis, utilities analysis, cross sections, a longitudinal profile,
sediment testing, utility and permitting agency coordination,two public meetings, and pursuing funding for the
removal and modifications of the dam. FLR was able to secure funding from three sources, including local(The
Community Foundation), state (IDNR LARE), and federal (US Fish & Wildlife Service) agencies. This feasibility ,
report was the first of its kind in Indiana.
FLR was awarded the construction contract in 2018 for the removal of two dams (Indiana Steel&Wire and the
McCullough Park dam), and the modification of one (Waste water dam). After permitting the project, demolition
of the two dams began in the summer of 2019, with the construction of a rock riffle following soon after. FLR
has completed the first year of a five year monitoring plan assessing how the White River responds to the
removals and modifications by collecting land form adjustment and biological data.

FLR contracted with the City of Warsaw to remove a-small low head dam located on the Tippecanoe
River. The nearly three foot tall dam was built in the 1940's as way to ensure a constant elevation for
nearby Center Lake, which served dual functions: recreational opportunities and a drinking supply
for the city. Inexplicably, the dam was built farther downstream than intended, and could not serve
its purpose. .
Seen as a liability, the City of Warsaw received IDNR &USFWS Fish Passage funds to remove the dam.
The scope of services included permitting, dam removal, and a one year monitoring report: As one of
the first dam removals in state of Indiana, the permitting agencies had a difficult time understanding
what they wanted to see submitted with the permit application. FLR worked diligently with the client
and the agencies to aid the progression of the permitting process. V
In late summer of 2018, the dam was removed, returning a large reach of the Tippecanoe River into
afree flowing river, and opening miles and miles of historical spawning habitats back to fish species
caught below the dam since its construction.

RIQUA-OH:` 1NY STREAM`STRUCTURES FOR RECREATION •
Outdoor recreation activities such as fishing, canoeing, and kayaking has seen a huge boom in popularity and participation
as people look for ways to connect with the outdoor world. Both Troy and Piqua, Ohio,who sit along the Great Miami River,
have been a part of the this boom. However, a dam located on the river in each city greatly reduced these opportunities.
The cities teamed up with the USFWS service to complete a feasibility study to understand the possibilities of dam removal.
FlatLand was hired as a consulting firm to Lead the study. Similar to other dam removal projects,the sediment within the
backwater pool had to be tested for heavy metals and PCB's to ensure the dam removal would not cause a health crisis
for individuals or animals that could come in contact with the released sediment. Testing showed that the sediment could
safely wash down stream without being a health concern.
FlatLand also engaged the public in a series of three public meetings to understand citizens'concerns and answer questions
about dam removal, both generally, and specific to this project. Significant public engagement and interest in the project
showed community leaders there was overall support for the removal of the dams. Lastly, FlatLand worked with an
engineering firm to understand how the removal of the dam would affect the City of Troy's water wells. Intense analysis
showed the removal of the dam would have no long-lasting effects on the water withdrawal process.
It was determined that both dams within each city could and should be removed,with the modification of a third upstream
of Piqua. FlatLand has continued to consult with the USFWS on securing four million dollars of Ohio EPA funding for the
removal of two dams, modification of a third, and restoration of the Great Miami River through Troy and Piqua, Ohio.

The rivers and streams within the northwest region of Indiana have seen extensive hydro-modifiications
such as ditching, dredging, darning, and even reversal of flow. This was all done in the name of making
Chicago and the region' on of the busiest port areas in the world. The Deep River was not immune
to these changes, as two dams and significant ditching now define the appearance of the river.
Built in the 1930's by the USACOE, the Deep River Dam serves no purpose other than to create a
lake like effect along its six mile backwater. The residents along the backwater have built a lifestyle
around this artificial Lake. Boat docks, boat ramps, and pontoon boats are common in the area.
Because of the lifestyle significance played by the darn, FLR was tasked with looking into the options
for dam modification.
After careful review of aLL options, it was determined a rock riffle would solve both the issue of the
structural instability of the dam, and maintain the cultural and historical significance of the 'lake
effect' for the residence of the city. In 2019,the Northwest Indiana Regional Plan Commission began
the steps of hiring a consultant to design a rock riffle structure at the dam, and in 2021, the rock
riffle was successfully installed.
