Ostrom Madison, Wisconsin 53706 <br /> Associate State Geologist 608-262-1705 <br /> January 26, 1971 <br /> Mr. Francis C. Nero <br /> Office of the County Clerk <br /> Burnett County <br /> Grantsburg, WI 54840 <br /> Dear Mr. Nero: <br /> I have the pleasure to transmit the final report of the study on <br /> the hydrology of Loon Creek by Mr. Warren Gebert. <br /> The study has analyzed the possible effect of simultaneously damming <br /> Loon Creek to create Lake "A" at a proposed elevation of 981 feet, and <br /> Spring Creek to create Lake "B" at a proposed elevation of 968 feet. <br /> The study indicates that during years of average inflow, Lake "A" <br /> would reach a maximum elevation of 972 feet in May which would decline <br /> to a minimum elevation of 967 feet in the late winter. It would have an <br /> annual inflow deficiency of 4, 300 acre feet, and could not be held at the <br /> planned elevation of 981 feet. <br /> Lake "B" would have a calculated annual surplus of 4,200 acre feet <br /> provided that Lake "A" could be maintained at its planned elevation which, <br /> as mentioned above, appears impossible. <br /> Should Lake "A" be maintained at an elevation of approximately 970, <br /> or 11 feet below the planned elevation, it would seem that Lake "B" would <br /> have an adequate surplus to maintain an elevation of 968 feet as planned. <br /> Should Lake "B" be constructed without Lake "A" it appears very <br /> unlikely that it could maintain its planned elevation. <br /> Three copies of the final report are enclosed but extra copies can <br /> be provided on request. <br /> Very truly yours, <br /> WISCONSIN GEOLOG�dC?xZ SURVEY <br /> Y <br /> " `� �/ St�.t ' Geologist & Director <br /> GFH:ac G ° , <br /> f <br /> cc: Lee Holt <br />
