I talked to a lady at the corps office about the ramp at the dam and how the contractors were only using a very small part of the parking lot. She informed me that it should be open part of the time. I asked her how we would be able to know when it would be open or closed? I told her that I did not see any reason for the parking lot or the ramp to be closed from what I could see this past weekend. But then again I surly do not know everything that they are doing there.

She was very nice and said that she would check into it a bit more and let me have know what she finds out.

I'll post again if I hear anything.

I'd suggest that everyone that uses this area to call the corps office and let them know our concerns.

I am sure that these test do need to be performed but not sure that the lot needed to be closed this past weekend.
