Huntington District, West Virginia -- The Huntington District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will host a public meeting to address questions raised at the September 26, 2024 public meeting regarding the modification of the Water Control Manual for Burnsville Lake.
This meeting is part of the effort to insure public involvement as per the NEPA requirement prior to a change to the Burnsville Water Control Manual.
The modifications proposed for Burnsville Lake are: documentation of the 2010 change of the maximum summer outflow, reduction of the augmentation flows required to dilute pollution at Elizabeth, and redefinition of the approving official for non-standard operations for actions.
During the initial public meeting questions concerning flooding below the Burnsville Town gage, from Browns Run, and erosion in the reach between the lake and the town were raised. The Corps has undertaken a study to evaluate these conditions and will communicate the finding of this study during the public meeting.
The dates and addresses for the public meetings are as follows:
May 5, 2025
5:30 pm – 6:30 pm
Burnsville Community Center
237 Kanawha Ave.
Burnsville, WV 26335
