No Summer Drawdown!!

"This lake really only gets used from Memorial Day to Labor Day from a recreation, boating, navigation standpoint, and here you're going to take critical summer months and you're going to drain the lake," he said.

Summer drawdowns would create untold damage to recreation, public enjoyment and fish habitat on the lake, Christianson said.

In fact, one argument for continuing to appeal the case is to not give ground to the wetlands association, he said.

"We know that the minute we lay down, the next step will be for the wetlands owners to call for a summer drawdown."
