Looks like some nice material in that dam. I am guessing that stockpiling that is being done so that if the land owner wins the lawsuit it can be put back in place? Man I would be pissed at having to give up that lake. Seems like it could have just been lowered to a safe level instead of breaching it all. Lower level with properly designed discharge should be no different than before it was built with natural lay of the land. The acres drained is constant either way. This is just punishing for no good reason.
