JAMESTOWN, Ky. (March 6, 2013) – Construction workers placed concrete for the last pile today, which completes the underground barrier wall and paves the way for raising the Lake Cumberland pool level. It is the last of 1,197 piles that are approximately four feet in diameter and extend 275 feet from near the top of the dam into bedrock below the foundation of the 4,000-foot long embankment of Wolf Creek Dam.
After a successful review period, the district plans to raise Lake Cumberland in increments. The initial one will target an operating zone between elevations 700 and 705 feet or about 20 feet higher than the current range of elevation 680 to 685.
