(IMPERIAL REPUBLICAN) The Imperial Republican reports, "The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission (NGPC) is advertising for bids for the Champion Mill Dam Rehabilitation and Sediment Removal project. The project was made necessary after damage to a gate at the dam and silting of Champion Lake following a June, 2007 flood. Bids will be opened and awarded on Feb. 9.Jim Fuller, Administrator of the NGPC Parks Division, said Tuesday that he is pleased that the project is getting underway. 'It took awhile to get everything passed through the appropriate agencies,' he said. Fuller had initially hoped the project would be completed in 2009. About $222,217 has been appropriated for the project. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will reimburse the state for 75 percent of the cost, while the Nebraska Legislature approved an allocation of $55,554 for the portion that will not be reimbursed."
