First rollout of lake safety study released By Cindy AguirreHerrera
that all spill gates would fail or have a domino effect should one break in the future.
(Seguin) -- Some findings and recommendations on what parts of the area lakes are safe and unsafe have been released. Report #1 of the Independent Expert Panel as authorized by the courts was released on Monday.
That concern has been on the top of the list of arguments for GBRA officials, who were ready to drain the lakes in response to the safety of all residents in September The report states "it is in the opinion of the IEP that a 'sunny day' gate failure -- (example, a gate failure occurring during non-high flow periods) is the critical scenario due to gates being in full upright position, elevated population at risk and no advanced warning of the failure." The failure of Lake Dunlap back in May was reported as having been a sunny day gate failure.
The report was pieced together by a third impartial expert hired by Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority and the set of plaintiffs, who in September agreed to a temporary injunction -- part of that injunction, which delayed the draining of area lakes, included a safety study that could help oversee those on the lakes until both sides could meet back in court one year from now.

While most areas are noted as safe or suitable for activity or recreation, the report does designate a listing of "unsafe zones." The report states "The IEP has adopted a geographic scope extending from Dunlap dam through FM 1117 and from SH 80 through Gonzales CR 143 on the Guadalupe River.
Officials, including those at GBRA, say they are still going over the document to help determine their next steps. The document results will help designate the safe and unsafe zones throughout the area waters. According to the 44 plus page report, experts noted that they didn't believe
