Frequently asked questions
The dam is downstream. Why would it wet a house on the terrace?
Because the dam sets the pool elevation for miles. Lock and Dam 13 is not a distant floodwall; it is the water table under Lyons and the mill flats. When June rain adds to a pool that cannot drop, the extra has to go into fill and cellars rather than downriver.
Is a house on the bluff a different job from one on the flats?
Yes. The bluff fails from uphill seepage and downspouts that terminate at the lot line. The flats fail from a river the dam will not let fall. Treating both as 'river flooding' misses the cut-slope problem on one and the lock-pool problem on the other.
Lock and Dam 13 holds a pool. Can a mill cellar wet when the sky is clear?
It can. Filled mill channels still connect to the pool. A cellar on that terrace can wet from below because the industrial hydrology was never removed, only covered. The lock just keeps the supply steady, so the industrial hydrology is a fair-weather problem as much as a storm problem.
