Phelps Mill Fish Passage Project
Highway Engineer Chuck Grotte presented the Phelps Mill Fish Passage recommendation for Option 1 –
2/3rds Rock Arch Rapids Fishway prepared by Houston Engineering, Inc. Commissioners indicated that this
was the widest fish passage of the three options that Houston Engineering had brought forward as proposals;
although, in the beginning, not removing the dam with a small spillway on the side of the dam was listed as
an option. They expressed interest in leaving the dam in place and using space down river for the fish
ladder. There is concern about the water level above the dam and the community wants that maintained
and not changed as much as possible.
OTC Board of Commissioners’ Minutes
September 12, 2018
Page 5
Phelps Mill Fish Passage Project Continued:
A motion was offered by Rogness and seconded by Lindquist to approve Option 1 as it relates to the width
of the fish passage and including the following modifications: 1) leave the dam in place (do not remove);
and 2) place the rock fish ladder downstream of the dam instead of upstream to preserve water levels and
aesthetics of the current historical site. The downstream fish rock ladder will be on County property and will
take some turbulence away from the Mill building. This motion will allow the US Fish & Wildlife Service
and/or the Minnesota DNR to move forward with environmental review for the project and apply for grants
or other funding to assist in the repair of the Mill building structure. The motion includes Otter Tail County
bonding for the cost of foundation repair for the Mill and coordinating the Mill building stabilization work at
the time the Fish Passage project takes place. If the environmental review indicates that this option for the
Phelps Mill Fish Passage project is not feasible, the project will need to be reconsidered by the County Board
for further review and discussion. Chairman Johnson called for a roll call vote:
