Debris Reporting

Accurate reporting of debris is critical in keeping the lake aesthetically pleasing and most importantly safe. If you have large debris and you can safely secure it to a tree or the shoreline so it will not drift, please do so. AEP has requested that debris NOT be secured to docks, gangways or other such personal property. They can not retrieve items from these locations due to the operating limitations of their equipment and liability concerns. We support this request. We encourage you to attach a picture of the debris to your message. Please do not send a video. Neither TLAC or AEP can accept or use them. You can report debris via several methods: Email, On-Line Form or Phone (see below for details). Please note that AEP has chosen to use their own report form, so these methods ONLY notify LLA and TLAC. If you wish to use their form (which doesn’t notify either us or TLAC) it can be found here. We have found that via Email affords the best tracking mechanism for future reference.
