Data Collection At George B. Stevenson Dam



DCNR has announced that it plans to temporarily elevate the lake level behind the George B. Stevenson Dam at Sinnemahoning State Park in Cameron County to collect data needed for a rehabilitation project for the dam.
“If weather and spring snow melt conditions don’t cooperate, we will decrease the volume normally released from the dam to raise the lake levels an additional 35-40 feet,” DCNR Bureau of State Parks Director Dave Kemmerer said. “Park visitors should be aware that the controlled elevated lake level is temporary and should take place during the month of March. It is anticipated that the lake will be back to normal pool levels before the start of trout season in April.”  ..............      Design should be completed by January 2014, and rehabilitation work will start in late spring or early summer of 2014.

Weekly reports on lake elevations will be posted on the DCNR/Sinnemahoning State Park here.  Choose “Find a Park,” then “Sinnemahoning,” and click on “Advisories.”
