The home owners on McQueeny should be happy. They now have a private lake with no possibility of public intrusion. No tears shed here..

I understand the frustration with McQueeney and public access. There are a lot of issues with GBRA that these hearings and lawsuits will bring public. GBRA is beginning to be exposed for what they have been doing for years. More to follow.

Homeowners did get the temporary restraining order from lowering lakes, but scheduled to go back to court next week. Either way, I am sure GBRA could close them all to recreational ( public or private ) use by way of safety concern issues. It will take years no matter what happens. I can only hope they take into account public access for any funding they may receive. Private lake - no funding !

They suggesting to get boats off of the water by the 16th regardless. You are correct, there is a good chance they close all of the river lakes to all recreational boat traffic until something can be done, which in my opinion is a better compromise than draining the lake.

That is the compromise I would hope comes out of this. To see the devastating loss of the cypress trees on Dunlap is terrible. We will never see the river (or lake) look like it did prior to the failure within our lifetime. It truly is a shame.

Don't see how the judge could keep the dams up with places like this just below the McQueeney dam ( https://lakeplacidisland.com/). This business has all kinds of folks using this place and I'll bet not many of them know about the dam problems.

Son's Island is far removed from the McQueeney Dam in terms of danger if there was a failure. You're thinking of the Dam Camp, which is literally right below the dam. This camp was built within the last 2 years I believe. How they were allowed to build that close to the dam if there was such a danger present?
How long were they in immediate danger of failing prior to the Dunlap fail and how long has GBRA known about the existing danger? And why now, only after the recent failure are these an "eminent danger"
Unbelievable negligence

Unbelievable negligence I would think that maybe they thought the first was just a fluke, but when #2 went, it’s a pattern. If 2 of 4 have broken, don’t you think it’s a bit more eye opening vs 1 in 4. But you know more about those lakes than I will ever want to know. Maybe they hate everyone on the river and are just looking to ruin their lives.

Maybe they hate everyone on the river and are just looking to ruin their lives. You do realize there are six lakes opposed to four and the spillways are on top of the dams. Dunlap failed and it took hours to drain the top 12-14’ of the lake and there was no damage, injuries, or deaths. Lake Wood was the same. I would hope they close the lakes but keep them full for ecological reasons. GBRA isn’t out to ruin anyone. They just don’t care about anyone or anything other than selling water for the highest profit.

No sir, didn’t know there was 6. Placid, McQueeny, Dunlop & Wood are the only ones I know of. What are the other 2?
