Lake Nacimiento urges users to collect property floating in lake
Monterey County Water Resource Agency is urging those who use or have access to Lake Nacimiento to retrieve and remove any property that is currently floating in the lake.According to water resource officials, the lake has a large amount of debris brought by the recent storm. Agency officials say that floating debris is endangering the lake's dam and spillway entrances. Tree branches fell into the lake’s channels and are now floating in the reservoir.Litter and floating trash from past year’s recreational activities, which was swept into the reservoir along with larger items such as abandoned docks, sheds, tires, even small boats and private docks, now float freely, according to Monterey County officials. There is a log boom in place to protect the approach to the dam and spillway entrances, but officials are concerned debris could damage or cause the failure of that log boom. For more information on removing items from the lake, contact the Water Resource Agency at 831-755-4860.
