Figuring out how we can clean out inside the culvert--without spending boat loads of money--is one of the problems that MLID is tasked with. If we have a steady outflow, it will contribute to a healthier lake. Any ideas? Can it be done in-house?

Leave It To Beaver
I lost some good photos I took this weekend of a 12-18" tree in the wetland at the top of the lake that had been felled by a beaver. Unmistakeably a beaver's handiwork; word on the street is the town is hiring trappers. MLID and the Yorktown official have confirmed it's a problem that contributes the problem of the lake overtaking the road (see image below--yes, I stopped the car to take the pic).
The town highway department has been incredibly helpful and gone above and beyond their duties to clear out the concrete culvert that runs under Mohegan Ave as you come down from Rte. 6. They have pulled all the muck out in front of the concrete tube, but there's muck inside the culvert. The town did additional improvements to the outflow infrastructure that passes right by The Winery and out towards Oregon Road (Mohegan Lake water ends up in Peekskill).
