Alcoa Power Generating Inc.
will temporarily drawdown Tuckertown Reservoir approximately 6 feet below full
to repair and extend the concrete boat ramp at the Highway 49 Boat Access Area
in Stanly County.
Work on the boat ramp is
scheduled to begin on October 27 and will take less than one week. As soon as
work on the boat ramp is complete, the lake will be refilled as quickly as
possible.
Lake levels are expected to
return to normal during the week of November 3, although the exact timing may
vary due to rainfall and river flow. Current lake levels and project updates
are available online at www.alcoa.com/yadkin.
“This temporary drawdown will
allow APGI to perform necessary repairs to the Highway 49 boat ramp. While this
work is being conducted, we are making additional improvements to enhance the
safety and accessibility of the boat access area,” said Karen Baldwin, APGI
Natural Resources Manager.
The drawdown
will not impact other boat access areas at Tuckertown.
