The future of Buckeye Lake and it鈥檚 troubled dam were the subject of a town hall meeting that brought out nearly 500 people Monday night.
The packed meeting followed a last week saying the dam is at high risk of failure, which would endanger the lives of some 3,000 people.
Area resident Lois Holler says those concerns are overblown.
鈥淚t鈥檚 not going to burst. If it does burst, you鈥檙e not going to get an eight-foot wall (of water) out of a six-foot body,鈥� Holler said.
The corps of enginners blames the 177-year-old earthen dam鈥檚 condition largely on many homes built on top of the dam.
