I live there and this is an OUTRAGE. They said back in NOVEMBER that it would be a WINTER drawdown to freeze out the weeds. They said it would be drawn down 18". They have kept the gate open all winter and in December it was drawn down over 30"!!. The rain last week filled it up to basically full pool but they opened the gate ALL THE WAY AGAIN and in 3 days I had BEACH in front of my house where it is normally 2 ft deep. Some "WINTER" drawdown. I have contacted DEP about this but they said that the Lake Assn. controlled the dam and therefore they have no control over the matter. I find this totally outrageous, especially since all of the fish the state stocks and manages will go down that pipe and out of the lake if this keeps up. It also destroys the shallow-water nearshore and littoral zone habitats.
