Byesville Roatry learns about MWCD plans for maintenance
Pictured: Chuck Fair, Speaker Host; Darrin Lautenschleger Public Affairs Administrator, JWCD; Joe Waske, Pres. Elect.
No readings for next week. Special meeting at:
Meadowbrook High School Library for Interact Induction at 7;30 am.
Donates and coffee.
Darrin Lautenschleger, Public Affairs Administrator of the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District (MWCD), spoke to the Byesville Rotary about MWCD goals in the coming years. Established in 1933, MWCD’s original goals were to reduce loss of lives and property by creating a system of dams and permanent lakes or reservoirs within the 18 counties forming the district.
Currently, The MWCD is responsible for 14 reservoirs and dams. It partners with the Army Corp of Engineers to develop and maintain the dams. It functions as a political subdivision of Ohio. The MWCD is the largest conservancy district in Ohio.
The system of dams and reservoirs developed over 70 years ago is beginning to show its age. MWCD is developing plans to maintain and repair different elements of the system. In addition, MWCD is working to solve problems associated with sedimentation, erosion and water quality.
Failure to maintain the system of dams and reservoirs can have significant economic consequences. The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers estimates that the MWCD flood control system saved about $475 million in property damages during 2004. In addition to preventing serious flooding, the lakes in the MWCD attract 5.5 million visitors every year who spend money at local businesses.
