Glade Run Lake, located in Butler County, was recently drained due to problems with the dam. Glade Run Lake is a tremendous resource to Western Pennsylvania and we urge you to support its’ repair. The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission’s 2010 Fact Sheet states: “
Glade Run is visited more than16,000 times a year and the resulting fishing and boating economic impact is estimated to be $1.2 million annually.†The estimated cost to repair the dam is $4.2 million dollars. Repairing the dam will pay for itself in less than 4 years.
Glade Run Lake provides numerous benefits to the community. The Fire Department and other emergency personnel use the lake for training and as a water source. Fishing and boating are very important to our residents (Butler County ranks 11th out of 67 counties listed for the number Boat Registrations in Pennsylvania annually). Hunting of deer, ducks and geese are popular sports supported by the lake. Wildlife is plentiful with nesting Ospreys and huge fresh water mussels. Bald Eagles and Loons are not uncommon.
The refurbishment of the Glade Run Lake Dam is clearly supported by the residents of our county. Fish and Boat Commission studies show “The public continues to identify a need for… aquatic resources.†and support the need to “Retain and add new access to fishing and boating
opportunities.â€
Many people have introduced our children, nieces, nephews and others to our natural heritage along the shores of Glade Run Lake. The loss of Glade Run Lake will invariably harm not only those who enjoy the resources of our State today but will also detract from the development of our children. We have a duty to future generations to maintain our traditions of hunting and fishing and we must maintain the resources that allow this.
Please do all you can to support the rebirth of Glade Run Lake.
Thank you,
David and Nancy Fowler
