That made no sense to me. How is demolishing it and having a pile of debris that could go at any minute down the river, along with a very heavy large metal back hoe any better than leaving the store there. Like the debris from that store building would amount to anything compared to the massive amount of rock and dirt from the possible further eroding bank.

The right most 2 wood slate gates were covered with concrete a few years back after it was determined that using them during a major flood would likely erode way the right-hand bank behind the dam and cause the dam to fail. At that time, hydro modeling showed that the dam could withstand as much water as came downstream sun/mon thru the five remaining bays (as long as they remained clear).

Their buildings are gone, the land they stood on has largely been swept down stream. But where does land ownership end at? Is land ownership only on the surface that the buildings stood on, or do you own the square footage, all the way down to the center of the earth? Does their land ownership remain in force even though the river now runs over the top of it? Hopefully the County won’t keep taxing them the same amount each year now that they have lost all their buildings?

Controlled demolition with explosives takes months of prep work weakening the structure and preparing it for blow down, it's not cheap as it requires extensive surveys of the structure and very expensive labour for the explosives. . There was a large amount of sediment behind the dam which would have to be removed before any demolition (explosives or just heavy machinery) could take place. A dam like this is typically removed using normal heavy machinery as it's a more controlled demolition, and cheaper to do it that way.
