Neighborhood Income Survey

Posted on by

Dear Neighbors,

The Lake Deturk Conservancy District (LDCD) is applying for a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) from the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA) for the purpose of improving the Lake Deturk Dam. As a requirement of the application process, LDCD must provide combined family income information for the households within the District. The significant OCRA grant funds are available for a very limited time on a first come basis. Once the money is awarded, it may be several years, if ever, that grant monies are again available.

In the coming days, those of you who have a household in the District will receive the income survey via the US mail. The anonymous survey will only take a few moments of your time. Instructions are included on the back of each survey. LDCD will keep all information provided by you strictly confidential and will use only a collective summary of the information in the grant application. Representatives of LDCD will never ask for any personally identifiable information such as your social security number or bank account information.

I urge you to complete this survey as quickly as possible and return it immediately so that the Board can complete the grant application process. If your survey is not returned, representatives from LDCD will contact you beginning November 17, 2012. Any individuals contacting you will identify themselves as working on behalf of LDCD. Your continued support and participation in this data collection process is CRUCIAL for the success of the grant application.

OCRA Grant Possibility

Posted on by

I just wanted to let everyone know that we are having a meeting of the Lake DeTurk Conservancy District, Tuesday, November 6th at 7:00pm in the fellowship hall (basement) of the First Christian Church at 89 South Main Street.

The purpose of this meeting is to discuss what needs to be done in order to apply for a grant from OCRA’s newly replenished dam and levee fund. The timing for this fund could not be better, if we qualify for the program. If we do qualify, the funds would be used to upgrade our spillway system to meet the guidelines for a high hazard dam. The funds are first come first served so time is critical. Everyone is welcome to attend but there will be less opportunity at this particular meeting for input from those that are not directly involved with the grant process.

Additionally, we need 10 hardship letters submitted as part of the grant application. These need to come from freeholders. I believe you could make a case for the hardship that would be brought on by an increased tax levy or the hardship to property value losses based on losing the lake due to lack of funding to meet the high hazard requirements. If you have been looking for a way to help the conservancy, writing one of these letters would be a way to go about it.

Finally, in the coming weeks some of you will be called upon to answer an income survey as part of the grant application process. You will be asked to answer how many live in your home, and based on that, if your income is above or below a set amount tied to the number living there. You will not be asked to answer specifically how much income you have.

Preliminary Engineering Report Presentation

Posted on by

Neighbors,

The next meeting of the Lake DeTurk Conservancy District will be, Tuesday, October 2, 2012, at 7:00pm in the fellowship hall (basement) of the First Christian Church at 89 South Main Street.

At this meeting Brian McKenna from Burke Engineering will present the findings of the preliminary Lake Deturk Dam engineering report that the District will file with IDNR. This report is part of the District Plan that IDNR mandates each conservancy district provide in the first year of their existence.

It is important for all to know that Burke’s analysis has indicated there are several homes downstream from our dam that would be significantly impacted if our dam were to breach during extreme conditions. Their recommendation to IDNR is that our dam classification be changed from a low hazard to high hazard. If IDNR accepts their findings as accurate, and the classification is changed, it would require an upgrade to our spillway system.

I would ask all in attendance on Tuesday night to keep the questioning centered on the engineering report. We do not wish to pay Brian to be present at the meeting while the Board and our attorney answer questions about other issues that Brian cannot answer.

And it should be noted that while most pains or twinges cheap no prescription cialis may be nothing to worry about because they do not last longer. While men who do not have such health issues can follow (back pain, digestive problems, fertility challenges, tension, headaches, and viagra 100mg more).
Speaking for the Board this possible hazard classification is not something that we expected when we agreed to volunteer our time last March. We knew from previous IDNR inspections that there were some issues but re-classification of the hazard rating was not one of them. However, we will not panic and will not react in knee jerk fashion regarding these new findings.

One option for us going forward is to form a committee of freeholders from various backgrounds to begin looking at grant, bond and loan options as well as cost estimates from companies that perform this kind of work. We have experienced Shireman residents and will need your help to develop a strategic plan. If you are asked to participate, please give it serious consideration.

Dam Repair Cost Rumors

Posted on by

Neighbors,

The next meeting of the Lake DeTurk Conservancy District will be, Tuesday, August 21st at 7:00pm in the fellowship hall (basement) of the First Christian Church at 89 South Main Street. In this meeting we will be reviewing the results from the online survey.

The minutes from the last three meetings prior to this past Tuesday’s meeting have been approved and added to the website.

The rumor mill has been churning out some quality grist again. The latest is that Burke Engineering submitted a proposal to us for dam repairs amounting to $1,000,000. Just typing that gives me a Dr. Evil flashback. Folks, that rumor is false. Burke continues to work on our District Plan as well as the engineering study that is a required part of that plan. To date, we have no proposal nor any costs nor have we seen the results of the engineering study.
The cognitive-behavioral therapy get free viagra robertrobb.com is also a recommended treatment. And the result is a terrible health viagra generika where we suffer physically, mentally and spiritually.

We will have to do some work to our dam because there are items from the last inspection that will need to be corrected. There may be other items that come out of the study as well but $1,000,000 in repairs is pretty catastrophic and equals what Lake Edgewood faced when they almost lost their dam in the “08” flood. If the time comes that we know we have new issues that need to be addressed, I will put the info out there for you all to see.

Dam Engineering Study

Posted on by

As new owners of the Lake DeTurk Dam, our conservancy district needs to learn more about our 41 year old dam to best manage for the long term. In the next couple of weeks, you will see activity in the area of the dam and spillway. Christopher B. Burke Engineering (CBBEL) staff and their contractors will soon begin the engineering work needed to support the District Plan required by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (IDNR). CBBEL will complete the following studies and report back to the Board by the end of July.

  • a. Field inspection of the dam to determine general dam condition
  • b. Accurate topographic ground survey of dam embankment, spillway system, and abutments. Survey will provide 1 foot contours and identify property lines.
  • c. Geotechnical engineering investigation – current limited data in IDNR reports; required for DNR approval of work permits
  • d. Conduit video inspection – document condition of pipe
  • e. Develop a hydrologic model; determine land use; determine spillway capacity and whether it meets the national standard 50% PMP (27 inches rain/6 hour) which IDNR has adopted.
