Eastern Lake oil berm cleared, lake open

It looks like the work was done today, the equipment is still out there. I don't know if they opened the lake, too, or if it opened from the rain. The berm had drain tubes in it, so it seems unlikely that removing it led to the lake opening.

Now there's a big pile of sand. I'm sorta guessing it will stay there a while, waiting to see if we need it later.

Probably too much rain. At Western Lake that happened about a month ago. The amount of water coming through the pipes was causing a whirlpool that was eating away the berm, so they removed it along with the pipes.

The sand at all of the lake outlets will be spread out or used to enhance existing dunes. Eastern Lake is unique because homes were built to close to the outlet. The sand there probably needs to be moved well away from the outlet.
