Council hears updates on Vermillion Dam monitoring project and Panguitch Lake dam rehabilitation permits
Summary
Council members discussed seeking funding for a new measurement device at Vermillion Dam and learned the Panguitch Lake dam rehabilitation project is still awaiting permits.
Council members discussed two watershed projects: installing a new measurement device at Vermillion Dam and the rehabilitation work at Panguitch Lake dam.
A council member said the group is seeking funding to update Vermillion Dam and install a more accurate measurement device there. “We are in the process of getting funding on it right now,” the member said, noting the device is important to local water users for measurement and operations.
On Panguitch Lake, a participant said project planners were still trying to obtain the remaining permits and had not started construction as of the latest update. “They were still trying to get permits in place to decide when they could begin construction,” the speaker said, noting favorable winter conditions but no start of work.
Members also discussed organizing an August tour of the watershed, with several members suggesting visiting the Upper Sevier or Sevier Valley to view ongoing work on Vermillion Dam and other local projects.
