Pre-2014 <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dredging Operation <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There is so much more to dredging than having excavators out on the water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

April 15th – October 30th (weather permitting)<\/h4>\n\n\n
\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

November & December<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n
