HARRISBURG, Pa. (March 11) – The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) announced today that it will co-host a public meeting with local legislators in McConnellsburg on March 21 to discuss dam safety issues at Fulton County’s Meadow Grounds Lake.

The meeting will be held from 6 - 7:30 p.m. in the auditorium at McConnellsburg High School, located at 151 E Cherry St, McConnellsburg, PA 17233.

The meeting is free and open to the public.

The PFBC announced on Feb. 25 that it would drain the lake because of deficiencies in the lake’s dam. During an inspection in December, the PFBC and the state Department of Environmental Protection found that existing seepage in the dam had become more severe.

The drawdown began on Monday, March 4, and is expected to take up to three months to complete. The lake will be drained at a rate of about two feet per week, depending on weather.

On Tuesday, March 5, the PFBC temporarily lifted all seasons, sizes and creel limits on the lake in anticipation of it being fully drained within the next several months.
