Here's the status of the Capitol Campus during the current storm.
 
Capitol Lake

No flooding is expected because of the heavy rainfall. General Administration continues to monitor water flow at the dam, and the dam was opened in anticipation of the rainfall.
 
Over the weekend, GA staff lowered the lake to about a half-foot below normal winter levels in anticipation of the rainstorm.
 
Heritage Park

There is standing water at the park, but this not expected to have any detrimental effect. Much of the hydroseeding at the park for the current improvement work is expected to hold up.
 
Hillside

The hillside and the trail from the Capitol Campus to Heritage Park are in good shape. The drains installed last year are handling the current downpour.
 
The trail remains open.
 
Leaks at Office Building 2, Highways-Licenses Building

Leaks have occurred on the top floor of the Highways-Licenses Building and the fourth floor of Office Building 2. These are related to the current roof replacement projects at each of the buildings.
 
There are also reports of minor leaks in the basements of the GA Building and the Insurance Building.
 
GA staff and contractors are responding to the situations in all buildings.
