Erosion Control: Rip Rap

In Fall 2012, the Wonder Lake Master Property Owners Association (MPOA) completed an important element of our overall lake restoration project. This work included the placement of supplemental limestone rip-rap on the upstream face of the Wonder Lake dam embankment, and the installation of rip-rap “collars” around three island areas in the southeast quadrant of the lake.

Lake Manager’s Report – November 2023

1. The rescheduled annual Dam and Sediment Drying Facility (SDF) inspection was held on Tuesday, October 17th. The MPOA engineers who inspected the Wonder Lake dam spillway and dam embankment were satisfied with the overall on-going upkeep and maintenance of the structure but did make note of the existing problem with the west sluicegate shaft. That shaft allows the sluicegate to be opened and closed and has bent to the point of the sluicegate being inoperable. The MPOA is continuing to look into ways to address this situation.
