MEI is supporting the Pine Mountain Lake Association and Lake Wildwood Association in managing their eponymous lakes in Sierra Nevada foothills. The lakes stores on the order of 4,000 to 8,000 acre-feet of water from a 25-54 square-mile watersheds behind roughly 100-ft tall earthen dams. MEI’s work supports monitoring limnological conditions, reporting on dam instrumentation and water rights, communicating with community leaders and members, and as-needed services such as managing invasive species and surveying the bathymetry.
