Well I hope you enjoyed Spring at Indian Lake. The temperature right now is 35 and we have been having snow off and on today. The only thing more fluid around here is dam news.
At least the naysayers, those who were sure the lake would never refill, are now silent. Now there are those who had work scheduled for this Spring and the water has come up too fast for their projects, and let's not forget the DEP.
There has been a lot of scuttlebutt about lowering the lake to accommodate each group, however only one of the entities has the power. Our Lake Draw Down Permit expired March 15, 2010. History tells us that it takes at least 30 days to obtain a permit. However, yesterday the DEP - Dam Safety instructed us to lower the lake three (3) feet, commencing this Friday, and holding the lake at -3 feet (2277 +/-) for a week. Then to bring it up one foot at a time. So those with Spring projects will have a small window of opportunity.
