    the 60 year old spillway gate was inspected just last year but the final results of its structural soundness. As I understand it the final report had not been discussed.
    what ever their recommendations on the report are they would be mute now. Lake Dunlap is not the only lake with aging gates I would imagine there may be hundreds if not thousands of lakes across the USA with an aging infrastructure
