Call To Action > > > Save Lake Shenandoah
By Scott Rogers • February 25, 2008
From today's Daily News Record, Lake Shenandoah, a.k.a. "Shen Lake," needs to be saved! Some key points of this story include: The 36-acre lake is man-made, and has been building up sediment making it difficult to navigate by boat, and more difficult for plant and animal life to survive. State officials have recently lowered the water levels to assess the situation and determine possible courses of action. "The game department won't dredge the lake any time soon" according to Steve Reeser, with the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. Why? "The project could last up to a year, cost a substantial amount of money - funds the department doesn't have - and possibly spark concern among residents." Herman Hale, president of the Lake Pointe Village Property Owners' Association indicates that the neighborhood values the lake and "is willing to do what it takes to improve the lake." My first question was --- what would it mean to "dredge" the lake? Per Wikipedia, to "dredge" is to "repositioning of soil from a marine environment, using specialized equipment, in order to initiate infrastructural and/or ecological improvements."
