MILL ROOF REPLACEMENT COMPLETED The roof is on !!! The old leaking
shingles were removed, new plywood sheeting was laid down, and painted
steel metal panels and trim installed. All was completed during the first
week of November. This will keep the mill structure and milling machinery
secure for a good long time - what a relief.

STOCKDALE MILL DAM GROUNDBREAKING is was held on, August 14, 3027. A fish bypass was installed at the Stockdale Mill Dam this summer. The "fishway" was located outside the existing concrete south wing-wall of the dam. [dam buttress end opposite the mill] The innovative structure will be the first of its kind installed anywhere in the U.S. The Stockdale Mill Foundation is partnering with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Dept. and the Manchester University Environmental Sciences Program. The fishway will include electronic sensors to monitor fish migration up and down the Eel River. Manchester University will conduct ongoing research into fish behavior. |
