US Army Corps of Engineers: Change operating rule curve for West Point Lake

The Issue

USACE has proposed that the lake could be full only from June 1 through September 1. Therefore, the USACE has decided to operate West Point Lake at full pool for a maximum of three months per year instead of five months (a 40% reduction) during the peak recreational season. This decision, on an already beleaguered lake, would have detrimental effects not only on our community’s quality of life but especially to those businesses that depend upon tourism and recreation.
