High Water Project Documents
Lake Shamineau water levels have been rising, causing shoreline erosion, loss of trees, wildlife habitat destruction, flooding of properties and causing millions of dollars of property damage and loss. A high-water project has been developed with the purpose of establishing a maximum operating level for economic and natural resource benefits. The project involves the construction of a permanent outlet for the lake to manage the high-water levels. Click below for documents that provide further explanation of the project.
