Lake Roaming Rock Dredging
The RomeRock Association implemented a dredging operation in 2014. Below is a summary of our operations thus far.
Necessary permits were acquired through the EPA and Army Corp of Engineers. Land for a dewatering site was secured. The dewatering site was then engineered and constructed to conform with the permit requirements. Equipment was purchased and constructed including 2 excavators, a bulldozer, a push boat, barges, and dump scowls. Additionally, takeout points from the lake to the dewatering site were constructed.

Areas dredged as of Nov 2024
There is so much more to dredging than having excavators out on the water.
Lake dredging begins once the road ban is lifted. Weight restrictions are on Roaming Shores roads and the roads leading to our dewatering site. Coves and waterways are dredged to remove silt and allow boat access.
Cleanup operations to our EPA approved dewatering site are performed so that we have room to dump next year’s mud. The material has had the summer to dry and is easier to move.
Dredging equipment is brought in for maintenance when not plowing.
