We live next to an ~2 sq mile reservoir in NE Colorado.
Thursday, the below was posted:
"In light of Tuesday's tragic events, the nation's dams and powerplants are under protection.
Carter Lake Closed to boating & surface use until further notice
land use is allowed only away from dam facilities and structures."
This lake is part of the Big Thompson water project - feeds water to about 1 million front range (& eastwards) folks, + farms/agriculture, etc. It has three dams.
You are not allowed to boat (fairly bigtime lake for sailboats, fishing, water skiing, etc.), but can drive across the dams on the roads. We have to drive across either 2 (one way) or one (coming from the other direction) to get to our house.
When asking about this this afternoon, the (very) nice lady (Larimar County Parks admins the lake & area) we talked to this afternoon told us it was the feds that enacted this "precaution."
We have noticed at least "some" unmarked vehicles containing uniformed "folks." They're not locals (Sheriffs, etc.).
Curious if any others have seen anything along these lines & an observation. You can't boat up to the dams but you can drive 18-wheelers across them still - discrepancies .....
