A series of excessive use of public services, which was caught after the US Vice President JD Vance’s family trip on a family trip JD Vance raised the level of the Little Miami River in Ohio.
On his 41th birthday 2. August Vance was seen in the southwestern area of Ohio. He saw him canoeing on the Ohio River, a tributary into which Lake Caesar Creek feeds.
The request for drain for Lake Caesar Creek was not only to support the details of the secret service vice -president, but also to create “ideal kayak conditions”, The Guardian reported, quoting the source with knowledge of the matter.
The US Secret Service application was submitted to the “support for safe navigation” of the US Vice President for security details for the August trip on the Little Miami River, “said the US Army Corps (Usace).
However, a spokesman for JD Vance Parker Magid said that the vice president and its employees did not know that the secret service had asked military engineers to raise the water level of the Little Miami river before a family cruise trip.
“The secret service often uses protective measures without the knowledge of the vice -president or its employees, as it did last weekend,” Magid said.
According to data on the US geological survey (USGS), the level of the river increased and the altitude of the lake dropped appropriately at the beginning of August, when Vance was vacation.
Security spokesman Gene Pawlik said that Louisville’s USA received “a request for a temporary increase in drains from Lake Caesar Creek to support the safe navigation of US secret service staff,” The Guardian said.
The secret service said it was closely coordinated with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and the settlement to plan to ensure that the motorized vessel and emergency personnel could work safely during the visit.
According to the USACE regulations, approval and documentation – which shows why the deviation is justified – required for any changes in normal practices.
This process also ensures that the risks associated with any deviation – including the flood risk or other environmental impact are detailed.
Pawlik also stated that the secret service application “met the operational criteria listed in the water control for Lake Caesar Creek and did not require a deviation from common procedures”.
“It was found that the operation would not adversely affect water or upstream. The parties were announced in advance of a slight increase in outflow that occurred on August 1, 2025,” he added.
