Subject: Laguna Lake
As a twenty five year SLO resident and a Laguna lake user I favor action to save Laguna Lake.
The plan to dredge the is commendable but expensive. Right now, there is a opportunity to efficiently dig out
a sizable portion of the lake with standard earth moving equipment. If the accessible portion of the lake was
dug deeper than required a dredge could then pump sediment from the currently inaccessible water covered
areas into the newly dug out area. There would be no need for drying areas reducing costs and environmental
damage. Trucks could easily transport the dry material to Cold Canyon where I suspect it would be a desirable
top cover material. I believe the cost savings would be in the millions of dollars.
This would require the Council to exert bold swift action. Hopefully, we will enjoy a productive rain season
and this opportunity will be lost.
