SAVE HOLLY LAKE
Donation protected
When Superstorm Sandy ravaged Little Egg Harbor in Southern Ocean County New Jersey, one of the lesser-known aspects of its destruction was the damage it caused to the spillway at Holly Lake. At the mandate of the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), the lake is currently drained and the fish have been removed. The wildlife that used to frequent the lake are gone, and local boaters who enjoyed fishing on the lake have disappeared.
The spillway is situated on property belonging to Holly Lake Park Condominium. The DEP has ordered that the spillway be repaired as soon as possible and has assigned that responsibility to Holly Lake Park, a small community of 53 condos.
So far the condominium owners have spent over $50,000 on engineering fees and fish removal. The projected cost of the spillway repair is $108,000. Holly Lake Park does not have the financial resources at this time to complete the repair, and there are no Sandy funds or other government grants available. In an effort to meet the DEP time constraints, the condominium association is reaching out to the greater community to help repair the spillway and restore the lake.
Your donation would be greatly appreciated, but equally important -- please share this story (savehollylake.com) with your friends. With your help, we can restore Holly Lake to its former beauty and recreational purpose. We will all welcome back the swans, turtles, egrets, heron and fish that had coexisted at Holly Lake for as long as anyone can remember.
