ANNOUNCEMENTS
2011/2012 DREDGE PLAN
1. Reinstall dredge motor this spring and resume dredging in the 3 tubes area-should be able to complete in 2-3 months.
2. After 3 tubes is complete move dredge to Margaret Burns/Bill Bray cove. A structure is already in place to pump into in that area. We will finish out the summer/early fall in that area.
3. Upon completion of Burns/Bray cove –move dredge to either the end of ski cove/Garney area or the North Yacht Club cove. We will have to construct a structure if we go to ski cove/Garney. We can use the existing silt structure @ south end to do North Yacht Club area.
4. Going along with the dredge operations will be continued operation of a long stick track hoe and or drag line. Areas targeted for track hoe will be far south end coves (Yacht Club) and community areas such as community area #5 and #6. Track hoe will be utilized to clean out existing sediment structures.
5. We will continue to monitor rock dams, clean them out and repair as needed. Most of them are in place and working as planned. We have identified a couple of areas where larger rocks will be needed to serve our purpose.
6. Another part of the plan will be removing brush/growth from some of the inlets going into the lake. We have identified a few areas that need work/rock placement.
Notes:
This dredge plan was put together using the depth readings we took in the summer of 2010.
Two things that we need to remember-running a dredge is not cheap and they do break down (as we all know). All major components of the dredge have been rebuilt or replaced but this is no guarantee that the problems are over. Continued maintenance and repair on the dredge will be required.
