I am glad this item is f inally getting some attention. The water
now is about 3 inches deep with muck below that. I could not
even use a kayak there a month ago whereas I used to sail in a
much larger vessel.
I have one earnest suggestion. The lake needs to be dredged; I
hope there will be enough imagination to simply dump the
dredgings in a pile in the middle and create an island. This would
make f or a much more aesthetic situation, create unique habitat
and eliminate any removal costs.
I have seen older reports that the costs would be high since it
was felt the debris needs to be dumped on dry land and allowed
to dry for some time, then moved back into the lake. Off the
cuff that seems unnecessary, why not just dump in the lake and
it will dry to the event allowable by elevation, just like dumping
dry soil there which will get soaked to water level and dry
above? I hope you will consider this simpler way to of f ect the
goal of island building. If you do a google search you will see
hundreds of square miles (or more) of dry land has been
created around the world in what was vast ocean, we can do it
herev'at,th.is� small scale.
