The city of Sandy Springs is making some progress on its efforts to keep the Lake Forrest Dam safe. âThis issue has been on your plate for a long, long time, since 2009,â City Attorney Dan Lee told the Sandy Springs City Council, referring to the damâs safety issues that started then. âThe biggest problem for the city, aside from protecting the citizenry, is this dam makes up (part of) a principal roadway, Lake Forrest Drive.â At its meeting Dec. 15, which was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the council voted 6-0 to approve entering into a consent order with the Georgia Department of Natural Resourcesâ Environmental Protection Division (EPD) regarding the dam.
