While many Borderland residents are concerned now about high water levels, Pelican Lake area resort owners have been thinking about low levels.
The Pelican Lake dam was repaired in 2006 by St. Louis County, and since then local resort owners have complained that the structure has settled 2 inches below its authorized elevation. And that has caused concerns in recent drought years.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources could have just repaired the structure, however, staff say a comprehensive impact study is needed before the work begins.
