Demolition of Hoosier Dam underway

An orange excavator digging in the center of a stream at the footprint of where a dam was standing. Shallow water flows around the machine. There are rocks and sediment scattered throughout. In the background a second yellow excavator sits on a mound of dirt next to a piece of the old dam that remains in place.
