Alexandria SRA (Jefferson County)
Alexandria SRA is composed of two spring-fed lakes totaling 46 acres. Low lake levels, due to
the deterioration of the corrugated steel outlet pipe on the West Lake and leakage between
the dam boards on the East Lake, have caused serious angler access and fish habitat issues
over the last 15 years. More recently, it was noted that tree establishment on the dam has
resulted in significant erosion problems. The fishery has also degraded as Common Carp
have reduced water quality and aquatic vegetation. This project would greatly increase
angler access, maintain normal water levels, and improve fishing opportunities.
Goals: Habitat, Access, Prevention
Tasks:
a. Remove sediment from West Lake to improve angler access to deeper water
with reduced aquatic vegetation growth.
b. Construct kayak launch and a boat launch facility for NGPC fisheries
management activities.
c. Chemical renovation of fish population to improve sportfish populations.
