Representatives of the Resort met with DCR (VA Department of Conservation and Recreation) during the last week in January. They report that DCR is on schedule with the Lake Laura dam restoration work. DCR expects to advertise for bids in lateFebruary with contract award about 90 days later. DCR still plans to start work at Bird Haven meaning that the Resort continues to expect that there will be no impact on Lake operations during the summer of 2015.
As reported in the last update, the draining of Lake Laura in support of the dam restoration work will be planned and announced when the schedule for the work on the dam is finalized. The Resort currently expects the draining to occur sometime in the Fall/Winter of 2015.
As we get more information from the Resort and/or DCR, we will post updates on this page. [Note: This status update has been edited to reflect new information about the timing of DCR’s procurement process.]
