Field geological studies and site selection and feasibility for the proposed Middle River Dam have been completed, and a detailed report is in progress. The work has included detailed geological mapping at the dam site and at possible quarry sites, and five diamond drillholes put down along an axis line at the dam site. Geological studies and preparation of comparitive estimates for three alternative schemes: pre-stressed gravity, earth and rock fill, and faced rock fill damns have been completed. The results and conclusions reached are discussed. The detailed factual data upon which the conclusions are based will be in the main detailed report.
