Work Begins on Menomonie Dam

Xcel energy says it’s starting work to make sure the riverbank at its dam in Dunn County doesn’t erode like the dam in Minnesota.

Crews are focusing on the Menomonie Dam’s abutment. Xcel’s Tony Witkowski says the plan is to cover the entire bank of the river, upstream of the dam on the left side of the river, with new concrete. The project has been in the works for years, but it’s taken on a bit more urgency after the Rapidan Dam in Minnesota failed because of abutment erosion on Monday.
