5/2/2017 Peltier Lake drawdown rescheduled I Nears I presspubs.com The projected project cost of the drawdown was $35,000. Thankfully, the drawdown itself doesn't make up a large portion of the project budget. "Removing the stop logs is not very expensive. The cost is in doing all of the public outreach, getting all of the permits, the engineering to make sure there is not going to be any unintended consequences or flooding," Koclan said. "So now that the work is done and the expense has been incurred, we ,`eel comfortable trying the drawdown again. Because the legwork or homework is already done, we have that platform to stand on and that base to work from." The plan is to try lowering the water elevation again in the fall. Kocian is not sure if there will be community meetings regarding the project or If notices will be sent out to landowners on the lake. It is also uncertain if the RCWD will have to go through the permitting process again; RCWD is currently working with the DNR on the details.
