What: management of the Ramshorn Pond dam drawdown and refill, including a dam operation manual.
Where it stands: the pond did not return to normal level this year and the drawdown appeared excessive. Two versions of an operation manual are circulating, one at the agreed 625-foot maximum drawdown and one reflecting the pond association's request for a deeper drawdown; staff recommended the original plan. A digital water-level meter is to be installed in the gatehouse well.
Next: staff will watch the current drawdown, do site reconnaissance, then decide whether the operational plan must be filed as a Notice of Intent.
