USACE Prepares Next Generation of Leaders

Twelve Savannah District employees recently graduated from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Savannah District Leadership Development Program II, a nine-month course designed to strengthen leadership and interpersonal skills and prepare employees for greater responsibility across USACE. The ceremony was held at district headquarters in Savannah, Georgia.

“Today we celebrated the successful completion of the Savannah District Leadership Program by 12 of our district teammates,” said Lt. Col. Vanessa Bowman, Savannah District deputy commander. “It was great to hear the graduates speak about how the program was beneficial to them.”

'Splash Away the Trash' for NPLD 2026 - Lake Hartwell, Sept. 26
Over the years, our local communities have been instrumental in keeping our reservoirs clean and safe.

Let's continue this great tradition for this year's National Public Lands Day event at Lake Hartwell, Sat., Sept. 26, from 9 a.m.-noon.

Volunteers are needed to help "splash away the trash" at several locations, including:

🌊 Georgia: Long Point Recreation Area, Rock Springs and Cleveland Boat Ramps, Elrod Ferry Recreation Area and Boat Ramp

🌊 South Carolina: Seneca Creek, Twin Lakes and Hurricane Creek Boat Ramps, Larry Abernathy Park, Broyles Recreation Area and Boat Ramp, Sadler Creek State Park.

“Once again, we’re happy to be partnering with Lake Hartwell Partners for Clean Water and Lake Hartwell Association on this year’s cleanup,” said Hartwell Ranger Annette Dotson.

“These organizations are integral in helping protect one of the Corps of Engineers’ top visited lakes. Because the lake is popular, it results in litter along the shorelines, in coves and on the islands, so we need volunteers.”

Army Corps of Engineers to Maintain Lake Level Restrictions at Hartwell Lake

To help protect surrounding communities, the Savannah District will maintain lake level restrictions at Hartwell Lake until a long-term engineering solution is designed and built to resolve flood risks associated with a seepage deterioration path identified at Clemson Lower Diversion Dam Saddle D**e.

There is no immediate danger to the public, this has been a reoccurring challenge since 2015. However, during a recent USACE Dam Safety Program evaluation, several required actions were identified, including the lake level restrictions, which are necessary until a permanent solution can be developed and implemented.

The temporary restriction is intended to reduce stress on the Clemson Saddle D**e by limiting how high Hartwell Lake can rise during periods of heavy rainfall.

Although there will be impacts to hydropower, recreation, local communities, and businesses due to the lake level restrictions, safety remains the Savannah District’s top priority.

To keep the public informed, the Savannah District will host two virtual public meetings to discuss the engineering findings, explain the temporary lake level restrictions and answer questions. Meeting dates, times and platform information will be announced once they are finalized.
