Army Corps Sued: Detroit Lake Draining Lawsuit Explained

Описание: The Army Corps has proposed draining Detroit Lake to such a low level that it risks having insufficient water for municipal, agricultural, recreational, and environmental uses. And, available water will have higher turbidity, harming water quality and costing downstream cities like Stayton and Salem millions of dollars in infrastructure repairs/upgrades. Congress required the Army Corps to evaluate lessons learned from turbidity problems caused by a similar draining of nearby Green Peter Lake, but the Army Corps is over four months past the legal deadline. This lawsuit seeks to address the Army Corps’ lack of compliance with federal law and protect our local residents from potentially catastrophic results. #DetroitLake #WaterLevels #ArmyCorps #Lawsuit #PublicComment
