"Corps: Dams may need repairs"

(OMAHA WORLD HERALD) The Omaha World Herald reports, "Repairs may be required on five Lincoln and Omaha-area lake dams the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has determined may have potential seepage problems. The corps announced on Tuesday the potential problems exist along the outlet conduits at five Lincoln-area dams. They are located at Branched Oak, Holmes, Olive Creek, Wagon Train, and Stagecoach lakes. The corps is also reviewing whether the embankment of the dam at Glenn Cunningham Lake in Omaha is damaged. The potential problems were identified using a new dam-classification system used to screen dams. There is no evidence to suggest an emergency situation exists, or is about to occur, at any of the dams."
