The January Splash edition is available by clicking here.  Highlights include details for an upcoming volunteer request to help locate groundhog burrows on the back side of the dam (see article below), a reminder about area fish fry fundraising events that occur every Friday from now through the end of Lent, and a reprint of an article from the local paper discussing a call for comments on the Public Water Supply District's (PWSD) grant application to the US Department of Agriculture.

Call for Volunteers to Help Locate Groundhog Burrows on the Dam, Saturday, February 20th at 1o AM
Posted February 11th, 2021

The Missouri Department of Natural Resources inspects the dam every two years, usually around January, and if it passes the inspection, we’re issued a permit to operate the dam for another two years.  This year, the dam passed the inspection but the DNR found two discrepancies that we need to address.  As reported in an earlier newsletter, we need to raise the height of the dam just a bit to be compliant with the DNR’s regulations.  This is not as big a project as you may think as the DNR inspectors suggested that we only need a truckload or two of gravel to smooth out on the south end of the dam and that should bring it into compliance. 

The inspectors also found quite a few groundhog burrows on a sampling of the back side of the dam, so another recommendation is that we do a complete inspection of the back side of the dam to find all the burrows and backfill them.  To find them, we’re scheduling a grid search event for February 20th starting at 10 AM at the parking lot near the dam.  Members of the Owensville Anglers Club have volunteered to help us with the search, but we need more volunteers to join the group.  Our intention is to space people out at 6’-10’ intervals to then hike up the back side of the dam to find the burrows and place a survey flag whenever they find one.

Why do this in the dead of winter? We had to wait for the groundhogs to go into hibernation in their “winter burrows” away from the dam. The department of conservation notes that they usually dig their hibernation burrows in wooded or brushy areas, so we shouldn’t be running into any during our search.  If we get enough volunteers, this should only take an hour or so.  If the weather is uncooperative or there’s still snow on the ground, we’ll postpone until a later date.  We’ll make a “go/no-go” decision on the Thursday before and will send an email alert and post on our website to let you know.  Bring your kids and grandkids to help!!
