THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Iowa County’s Land Conservation Committee is weighing whether to keep, reconstruct, or remove the aging Bloomfield farm pond dam after an SEH inspection found it now qualifies as a large dam under NR 333. Staff outlined options that include a $200,000–$250,000 reconstruction with pipe replacement, dredging, shoreline work, and recreation upgrades, or removal aided by WDNR dam-removal grants. No procurement is underway yet; the county is gathering cost estimates and grant info, creating a strong opening for engineers, contractors, and funding advisors to shape scope and phasing.
Multiple grant programs are mentioned, including WDNR dam safety grants (dam removal up to 100% cost) and small annual grants up to $4,000 plus 50/50 funding for stream bed repairs.
