Indianford Dam Safety Checked by DNR today

Update – Rob was on site and noted the dam was submerged and has freeboard available to accommodate the additional 0.5FT increase predicted for the lake without overtopping the abutment.  There is currently 18 inches of freeboard available.

He has told Paul France(Regional WEM) and representatives of Rock County that he recommends not doing anything at this time and re-evaluate should the water levels rise above the predicted levels.

Thanks.
