In the hopes of preventing the Egg Harbor City Lake and Campground from losing its prime attraction, City Council is applying for a federal hazard mitigation grant to rebuild the main dam and the bulkheading around it.
The project has a projected cost of about $600,000, and the city’s 25 percent share would be about $150,000, said Council President Ed Dennis.
The sluice gate on the dam is leaking and can’t be closed completely, said Dennis. While it could be opened to handle a large rain event, “we’re afraid we’ll open it one of these days and it’s not going to close again,” Dennis said.
