Will adding another stop log on the weir increase the lake level?

It is possible another stop log on the water control structure (weir) at Pigeon Lake might result in incremental, long-term increases in average level but it would require a full modelling water of level data, climate variability, storage capacity and impact assessment considering known factors and risks including flooding, significant shoreline erosion and property damage.
