House OKs Funds to Restore Lake
The House of Representatives approved a $780,000 expenditure Wednesday to help restore the lake at Hansen Dam Recreation Area in the northeast San Fernando Valley.
Rep. Howard L. Berman (D-Panorama City) included the money in the Energy and Water Appropriations Bill of 1989, which passed the House and was sent to the Senate. If passed by the Senate, the bill must be signed by President Bush before any money can be released to the Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks.
The lake, once a center for boating, swimming, fishing and water skiing, filled with silt and debris during floods in 1969 and 1981.
