Reply to comment by gman2391 in Dam controversy: After Bow pond drained, some residents hope to leave the future up to beavers by DethKnotWurst

Just to clarify, “downstream” is a protected, Prime wetland and there are no people in that direction.

There are house abutting the downstream wetland only a few hundred feet from the dam. Not saying they're at risk necessarily, but a dam suddenly letting go does have the potential to cause issues downstream.

My comment about people was intended to be primarily directed at the bridge and the immediate area though. The bridge and trail are used by a lot more than just snowmobilers.

I think the houses are elevated such that a pond the size that it was would not inundate them in any way.
