Frequently asked questions
The Feeder Dam is downstream of the falls. Why would it wet a mill cellar?
Because the dam sets the pool elevation for the terrace. It is not a distant floodwall; it is the water table under the paper blocks. When July rain adds to a pool that cannot drop, the extra has to go into fill and cellars rather than down the Hudson.
There was no rain overnight and the cellar was wet by morning. From where?
The buried raceways. Paper-mill channels under this terrace still feed cellars directly from the Hudson, so water arrives on a dry morning with nothing overhead to explain it. They were covered over, not disconnected.
Paper races under the Feeder Canal are gone. Why does a mill cellar still take the Hudson pool dry?
The Feeder Dam never dropped the terrace. Buried wood and stone still connect to the pool. A clear sky over Queensbury does not empty that. The stain is the dam, not a storm, and it will be there tomorrow.
