DNR Rest Lake dam open house

From the Lakeland Times

...When I asked a DNR manager when the results of this session would be processed and reported on, he said "sometime next summer." After five or more years of study already, why is this input going to take a full year to study and report back on?

...And if the DNR is keeping its stated promise to not take any action before all studies and reports are finished and approved, why has the DNR ordered that the dam be opened, resulting in a current chain level of just over six feet? This while the legal operation of the dam, as I understand it, requires a minimum chain depth of 7.3 feet from July 1 through Sept. 1. The "normal" level, since 1936 when the dam's operations were drawn up, is about 8.5 feet during the summer
