March 27 Newsletter on Lake Cumberland/Wolf Creek Dam
Friends of Lake Cumberland –
Don’t forget the Corps’ public meeting at Gainesboro Tennessee on Tuesday night and Homeland Security’s weather radio distribution on Wednesday in Clinton County.
Only a few new news articles appear at the end of this update.
RAMP CONDITIONS ACCORDING TO THE CORPS:
The following Corps operated and Commercial Marina boat ramps are usable at or near the target elevation 680” (* Due to recent heavy rainfall, lake elevations have been higher than the targeted 680 elevation and many ramps not shown on this list may be currently usable. However, lake levels are on the fall and these ramps are expected to change to the status of unusable again. Ramps are monitored on a daily basis and conditions are subject to change.) Lake predictions for March 9, 2007 are in the range of 685 elevation and by March 21, 2007 the 680 elevation range.
