During this event the emergency spillway (north side of dam) was damaged, requiring extensive repair. The Department of Wildlife Resources (DWR) engineering staff inspected the damage and, due to the severity, were required by the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) Dam Safety Division to lower the lake approximately 5 feet from full pool to reduce the threat of the dam failing during a high water event. In addition, DCR Dam Safety recently updated hazard assessment criteria for all dams in Virginia. In order to bring the Lake Shenandoah Dam into compliance with dam safety requirements, it was determined that the dam would need to be completely reconstructed. Present Work: The DWR engineering staff have finalized plans to reconstruct the dam and emergency spillway at Lake Shenandoah. On October 10, 2024, the DWR held a community meeting to share information about the construction project. The presentation may be found here. A graphic showing the changes in the lake level may be found here. The new location of the dam (relative to the current location) may be found here. Answers to Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) may be found here. An anticipated start for construction is Summer of 2025, with an expected completion in December 2026. For question related to this project, please contact John Kirk, Capital Programs Manager, at john.kirk@dwr.virginia.gov. |
