The Army Corps of Engineers will hear public comment on pending Cumberland River dam restrictions Jan. 10, in Grand Rivers. The Corps announced earlier this month it would restrict all water access above and below 10 dams, including the one on Lake Barkley because it's a dangerous area. Corps officials plan to share details on the restrictions and answer questions. Some, including Livingston and Lyon counties’ judge executives, have opposed the new rules, saying it will hurt tourism and the fishing economy.
The Corps’ Jan. 10 meeting will be at Badgett Playhouse Theater located at 1838 JH O’Bryan Ave., from 6-8 p.m. Three other meetings are scheduled for the month.
