Thaw Impact on Lone Star Lake Water and Park Work
County Engineer E. E. Trueblood explains that snowmelt timing will determine how much water reaches Lone Star lake. Slow melt encourages infiltration, while rapid melt offers limited benefit. Lake sizes will grow from 100 acres and 48 feet depth near the dam to 200 acres and 60 feet depth. A flock of mallard ducks stays near open water. A relief crew from direct relief rolls clears brush around the lake and prepares stave wood for distribution to relief clients at East Seventh Street wood yard.
