Annual Meeting
Started 6:35pm
- Greg Parrs presented lake & dam management
- Dam no longer considered to be in risk of needing full replacement. Instead, we have a multi-pronged approach to manage the dam long term, that requires new modeling and monitoring, and targeted repairs.
- First phase: redo modeling with new computer software on stream flow and outlet flow; probably around $5,000; motion was made by James Wallace to begin phase 1l seconded by Bert Brace. All in favor.
- Second phase, Spring 23; sonar on bridge to collect data of waterflow going over weir.
- Emergency outflow pipe is a longer term project to work on.
Lake Quality
- Greg believes overall quality of water has improved, despite challenges we face each year.
- Successfully managed major algal blooms; state controls how much treatment we can do.
- Study North Lake in Sweet Valley – they installed very expensive bubbler system.
