                  The Louisiana 
                    Department of Wildlife and Fisheries is announcing that a 
                    drawdown is set to begin for Kepler Creek Lake, in Bienville 
                    Parish, on July 17 as mandated by the Kepler Creek Lake Water 
                    and Recreation Commission.
                  The purpose 
                    of the drawdown is for shoreline maintenance and erosion control 
                    by property owners on the 1,925 acre reservoir.
                  The lake 
                    will be lowered approximately four inches per day until it 
                    reaches the target goal of eight feet below normal pool stage. 
                    The lake will be held at this level until Jan. 31, 2007. The 
                    water control gate will then be closed and allow the lake 
                    to refill.
