The water depth will prevent invasive aquatic vegetation from taking hold and remove debris and trash from the lake bottom.
Machinery will be used to pump silt to an off-site location, where the slurry will be dewatered for offsite disposal. The dewatered sediment will be disposed of, while the water will be clarified and pumped back into the lake.The next phase of the project includes the rehabilitation of the Bachman dam and spillway. Work on that is expected to be complete in the spring of 2025.
