The City of Faribault, Minnesota – City Government Facebook wrote:
DAMAGE TO DAM: City of Faribault crews are currently working to stabilize flood-related erosion on the north side of the dam located next to the Faribault Mill, south of Slevin Park.
While the full extent of damages will not be entirely clear until water fully recedes, what can be seen has called for the need to stabilize the area and to prevent additional erosion.
The State has been notified, as is general practice in situations like this, and we’re encouraging everyone to avoid the area. Please do not proceed beyond barricades and/or police tape within Slevin Park.
There is no immediate public risk, and this erosion doesn’t appear to be as concerning as the Rapidan Dam situation, but with more rain in the forecast, the City – with help from partnering agencies – will continue monitoring the erosion.
