Lake Singletary Drawdown Order

At a glance

  • What: the state Department of Environmental Protection's Superseding Order of Conditions on the Lake Singletary drawdown.
  • Where it stands: the appeal period has passed. The order limits the drawdown to no more than 5 feet, adds monitoring requirements for the lake association, and runs 3 years with no extensions, so it must be refiled. Commissioners said current drawdowns are well over 5 feet, and worried about dock and wall damage and refiling.
  • Next: the commission will watch for problems and could raise concerns with the state when the order comes up for renewal; similar drawdown applications are pending or approved for other area water bodies.

  • Update only, no vote. Members noted the 3-year term and that residents harmed by the limit could take concerns to the state.
