WKRN: Wolf Creek Dam work behind schedule

WKRN News 2 yesterday reported that officials with the Army Corps of Engineers said critical grout repair work on the leaking Wolf Creek Dam in Kentucky is behind by as much as two months.

The Corps told WKRN the dam is still safe with lower lake levels at Lake Cumberland and that they plan to complete the grout work by late fall.

A failure at the Wolf Creek Dam likely would cause flooding along the Cumberland River.
