   Wolf Creek Dam on the Cumberland River in Russell County, Ky., and Center Hill Dam on Caney Fork River near Lancaster, Tenn., are both plagued with seepage through limestone formations beneath their bases, said Bill Peoples, a spokesman for the Corps of Engineers, Nashville District.
   
   The levels of Lake Cumberland behind Wolf Creek Dam and Center Hill Lake have been lowered to reduce stress on the dams.Repairs are under way on Wolf Creek Dam and are expected to begin soon on Center Hill Dam.Peoples said both are under constant surveillance."We have someone walking those dams 24/7 looking for sinkholes and other problems," he said.
