Permit to proceed with the drawdown was received August 7, 2008 after the
completion of the DNR Hearing on July 15
, 2008.

We will be removing the first board from the dam on Friday August 29
, 2008
and are scheduled to have the fish out & lake down by October 1
, 2008.

A grant request was submitted which will affect the items we are able to
accomplish during the drawdown period and for the next two years following
the return of the lake.

We will be looking for l
ots of help on drawdown projects.

We will be keeping a list of p
rojects here!
