Updates to water control manuals and reviews of the water control plans for Melvern, Pomona and Hillsdale dams and reservoirs will be the subject of a series of public meetings held by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers. Updates are necessary and include a drought contingency plan for managing water releases from reservoirs during drought conditions. The public is invited to learn more about how USACE uses the water control manuals at each of its reservoirs, how the updates will be done and to provide their input.
The meetings are being publicized together because many people visit more than one reservoir in a year or have interests in water resources encompassing more than one location. The meeting for Hillsdale Lake will be Tuesday March 12th at the Hillsdale Range and Training Facility, starting at 5:00 in the afternoon. The meetings for Melvern and Pomona will be held Thursday, March 14th at the Melvern Community Center, that meeting also starts at 5:00. There will be a virtual public meeting to be held by zoom Wednesday, March 20th, at noon.
