These are questions I would like included for the COE and DNR. Dave Gottsche asked for questions at yesterday's Board of Supervisor's meeting. I am sorry I was not there to submit them. What would happen if we did nothing? The flood risk would remain the same as it currently exists. What damage would a flood cause to the lakes themselves and adjoining property? Property damages would vary by flood event. It is reasonable to expect flood damages to increase with increases in lake levels; however, the COE does not have sufficient information at this time to determine potential damages at any given lake level. Would a flood, such as the one in 1993, cause damage to the property, boats, hoists, ecology etc. on Lower Gar? It is anticipated that a flood similar to 1993 would result in damages equivalent to 1993 (adjusted for inflation), or be even higher if private property has been installed in areas flooded in 1993. Would the county be liable for their failure to act? Would the City of Milford be liable for their resistance? What are the Corps of Engineers recommendations and why? The COE presented several alternatives to increasing the outflow from Lower Gar in the 1999 COE report. The purpose of evaluating the alternatives was to evaluate the potential range in decreasing lake levels during a high water event, not to recommend a specific alternative as superior to the others. Will failure to act lose the $100,000 the ...
