The St. Paul District hosted a training event for area emergency management services on how to recover disabled vessels approaching dam gates during a two-day event at Lock and Dam 4, in Alma, Wisconsin, July 16-17. The training – led by Joel Herman, lock and dam operator and instructor for the Corps of Engineers boat operator course – allowed partner agencies a chance to see and practice how the St. Paul District conducts rescue operations, which include closing the dam gates and launching a rescue vessel. Herman aims to expand the program and offer the training at additional lock and dam sites within the district. Special thanks to our community partners taking part in the event, including: Wabasha, Buffalo and Winona County Sheriff’s Departments, Alma Fire and Rescue and the Minnesota and Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
