Lake level plan targets Perry and six Kansas lakes
A wildlife oriented water level fluctuation program across Perry Lake and six other Kansas Corps of Engineers lakes is in effect. The plan seeks to keep Perry near elevation 893.5 feet for fish spawning, with a July drawdown to 890.5 feet from July 5 to 20 to reseed inundated areas, releasing up to 1300 cu ft per second as needed. A male Tonganoxie was postponed on battery and property damage charges in Douglas County where the incident occurred May 13.
