3. Primary Concerns
Lack of inflow causing the lake to be in an imbalanced condition
Debate over watershed/ river-basin boundaries
Rodeo road placement
Krazy Creek water is required to charge the wetlands that feed Skeleton Lake

4. Data Synthesis: Surface Water Flow
Early LiDAR data demonstrates the most probable flow path and the minimal topographical relief of the area

9. SLSA’s Natural Solution
Restore the historical natural flow from Krazy Creek.
We have proven that this will put the lake back into a water balance condition
Hydrological connectivity between Krazy creek and Skeleton Lake has been acknowledged by AEP
SLSA is in the process of applying for an inter-basin transfer license through AEP

11. THE NATURAL SOLUTION
In 2012 SLSA successfully restored some of the natural flow to the lake through ditch work.
In 2013 and 2014 the lake rose two inches per year.
This year the lake is up 9” since October, 2016.
These are the only years the lake level has increased since 1997.

12. CURRENT STATUS
SLSA had a tried and proven solution that can be re-implemented quickly with the inter-basin transfer approval.
Two year test period has proven opening up historical flow paths will reverse the water loss trend.
SLSA has retained consultants to complete and submit an inter-basin application.
