Dredging completed

I spoke to one of the crew today (Gary) and he told me they have it all wrapped up and should be leaving Sunday. One of the big hold ups was the number of large rocks they encountered when agitating and pumping. That had not been anticipated and it took a toll on time and equipment.

The inlet by the dip (they called it the west bay) had about 2500 yards more sediment than anticipated as well. The inlet channel was about thirty feet wide and the bottom was ten feet of pure mud that had to be dredged and pumped.

This has taken longer than we expected but at least it is done and next year the lake should be back ready for normal usage as well as being much cleaner. I am sure we all prefer they took the time needed to do the job correctly rather than a rush job just to get out of here.
