Nothing special - this and 3 other nearby Patapsco River dams are slated for demolition. Just took a few quick vids of each before it's too late.

  • What did this dam do? I assume it is gone now. Did it once help power the mill?

  • @BnuPhoto - yes, it powered the mill. the millrace is shown. and yes, the dam's gone now.

  • how are they going to take that out??? Like how is blowing the dam up going to help migratory fish get up a pile of ruble, or i mean just how are they going to make that even

  • basically, a huge jackhammer. they wont leave a huge pile of rubble in the middle of the river. they are almost finished union dam. i have some vids & pics of their progress.
