Planning assistance has been made available to impact communities in a variety of forms including financial aid from senior levels of government and from impacting industries, economic and demographic forecasting models, growth-management consulting firms, case studies, and comprehensive handbooks for community action. There has been rapid mobilization of sophisticated administrative and technical expertise to mitigate the problems of impacted communities.

The scenic beauty of the lake made it a popular area which promoted the formation of resorts and Forest Service recreational facilities. Special use permits for recreation summer homes were later granted by the Forest Service to allow utilization of the lake when relatively few people could make the arduous drive up the narrow mountain road.
