Input wanted on removing small Grand River dams

The United States Department of Agriculture's Natural Resource Conservation Service is asking for input on restoring the rapids.

The USDA is looking for public input on a plan to remove smaller dams from the river.

The USDA is paying $4.1 million of the $50 million estimated cost and is requiring public comment on the plan.
