  • Slide on Wilson Lake Dam repaired

    SYLVAN GROVE, Kan. — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Wilson Lake Dam recently repaired a slide on a downstream embankment. Project staff performing routine monitoring observed a slide on the Wilson Dam downstream embankment on May 20, 2017. Geotechnical engineers, geologists, and project staff determined that the cause of the slide was the prolonged drought conditions in recent years and then the large amounts of rainfall in May. The Wilson project office received over nine inches of rain in May. The slide was not related to the elevated lake levels experienced in May.
