The ARMY Corp of Engineers conveyed recently how Federal stimulus money is helping to renovate projects on Lake Hartwell.
Courtesy ramps at Eighteen Mile Creek and Camp Creek areas were added plus a fishing pier for children at the Twin Lakes area was built recently.
The Army Corp of Engineers has plans this fall to reduce outflows from Lake Hartwell, but it is doing an environmental assessment now to see if it can reduce water outflow to the same level as it did a year ago. According to the Corps, it will begin reducing the outflow to that level in November.
Stimulus projects under way include $350,000 for shoreline stabilization, $100,000 for a new pump station near Clemson, $450,000 for electrical upgrades at the Hartwell Dam, $2.4 million for new switch gear station at the dam, and $60,000 for a new dock at Twin Lakes.
