Presentation

0:02 → 4:24(4m 22s)

Agency official (S1) reported McMahon Lake is about two feet below ordinary high water, recounted a 2020 high, and said recent extreme heat and low levels produced roughly 30 reported fish kills, including cold-water species (northern pike). S1 recommended shoreline restoration and holding a larger water-level reserve (raising the drawdown trigger from ~1 foot to ~2 feet) to reduce extreme swings.
