Next DLC meeting will be March 16. Interlaken Townhall, 100 Grasmere Ave at 7PM

The DLC was chartered in 1974 by the 7 shore line towns. Our mission is to provide leadership, guidance, and resources to preserve and restore Deal Lake and its tributaries as a healthy and stable ecosystem. In addition, control lake levels during heavy storms to the best of our ability with limited ocean tide controls.

    NEW BUSINESS

    See attached correspondence to the Village of Loch Arbour pursuant to Resolution #4 adopted on March 20, 2014 that authorized Dr. Souza to assist Commission Clerk to prepare response to Loch Arbour re: altering flume to be a “true flood control” device; as previously discussed in detail by the Commissioners with Dr. Souza and Mr. Avakian, the impoundment area (Lake) would have to be much larger, the elevation would have to be much higher and the flume itself would have to be much greater in diameter, none of which would qualify as a FEMA-reimbursable expense unless a Hazard Mitigation Grant application was submitted through County OEM to address Loch Arbour’s concerns
