Libby City Councilors covered a lot of ground at Monday’s meeting, but the topic they discussed the most was a pile of rock and dirt near the Flower Creek Dam.
The spoils pile, left following the construction of the newer dam in 2016 because the project was over budget, has been discussed before. It consists of sandy silt, gravel, rock and concrete rubble.
In 2021, council approved a plan to grade and armor the eastern edge of the mound because it was the most at risk of erosion. At the time, some thought city workers could get the job done.
