Consultant tells Rhinebeck board Asher Dam spillway and ice-load stability fall short of current standards; three concepts and removal discussed Tye & Bond presented a $49,500-funded engineering assessment for Asher Dam that found the spillway lacks required hydraulic capacity for the design storm and the dam fails the ice-loading safety factor. Consultants described three conceptual fixes and said dam removal could be included as an alternative; the draft will be submitted to DEC for review.
