ROUND LAKE PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION: Experiment with Carlson Road Dam on Lt. Round Lake
The Round Lake Property Owners Association is sponoring a project to evaluate water level management alternatives for Round, Little Round and Osprey Lakes.
Project goals includes: 1) Gain a clear, thorough and common understanding of the differences in performance of the options under consideration for a permanent solution for managing the water levels on the lakes within the Round Lake Watershed; 2) Establishment a database that accurately documents the relationship of the water levels on all three lakes to each other as well as to the control structures in the system. The data will also detail how rainfall impacts water levels within the watershed, including peak bounce and recovery times. This data will be invaluable in the development of future water level management plans. It will also serve as a base line to measure changes in the system over time; 3) Establish the optimum water level management system that is critical to maintaining a healthy eco-system, and preventing damage to the lake through the spreading of invasive plant species, shoreline erosion and flooding.
