Save Lake Accotink Petition Help Us Save the Lake!
http://savelakeaccotink.org
In 7 years, Lake Accotink will have accumulated so much sediment from upstream that it will cease to exist. The Fairfax County Park Authority does not have a plan in place to prevent this. If you want to save Lake Accotink, please sign the Save Lake Accotink Petition before Memorial Day 2018!
Save Lake Accotink Petition
The goal of this Petition is to Save Lake Accotink! What does this mean in detail?
In order to save the lake in its current form a bond needs to be voted for in the fall of 2019. In order to get a bond on the ballot Supervisor Cook has challenged us to organize and get at a minimum a thousand signatures by Memorial day 2018. The bond is required to fund Option C of the Lake Accotink Management Master Plan. This is the Forebay option with annual dredging. It has an initial cost of roughly $45 million with an annual cost of roughly $800,000 for maintenance and dredging of the forebay.
More details on this option can be found at: https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/sites/parks/files/assets/documents/plandev/lake-accotink/lap-mtg-presentation-012218.pdf on slides 16 and 17
