RKLD Responds to Stone Farm Road...Again

Gerry;
There are no “major manipulations,” just DNR mandated operating orders.

If you wish to receive emails, then I invite you to sign-up on the RKLD site. But again, we do not send emails for every gate manipulation. In 3 days last week, we had 12 gate changes.

Yes, the trash rack work was well publicized, but the 2 newspapers are not going to report each gate change. Again, if you monitored the USGS site, then you can expect when gate changes will be made.

Again, all info you have been asking for is already on the site. Both the operating orders and the daily water levels are on the RKLD site. If this is of interest to the general public, then it is incumbent on individuals to monitor the sites that provide the data.

The RKLD has 4,000 parcels and nearly 10,000 people within the boundaries of the Lake District, and this is the first instance where someone has expressed concern that RKLD has provided too little information.

The RKLD Board is a fully volunteer position, so we endeavor to post all nformation on the website as a resource for both RKLD constituents and the general public to find the their own answers to their questions. Of which, your concerns re: downstream flow and water levels are indeed addressed on the Indianford Dam page, among other locations.
