Special Districts and Regional Parks moving forward on Lake Gregory project

Special Districts and Regional Parks are working with the State Department of Dam Safety to move forward on the Lake Gregory Dam project.  A plan is in place to stabilize the dam and implement a “valve release system” that will lower the lake by 50 percent in 7 days in case of an emergency. The work will make the dam seismically safe. The county saved up to $1 million by finding the inlet valve free of debris and muck which means the work can move forward without first having to clear the inlet valve.
