HOMEOWNER DREDGING PROGRAM TO BEGIN SUMMER/FALL 2010


The LMOA dredging program will soon expand by offering dredging to lakefront homeowners (for a fee). The plan is to incorporate
homeowner dredging into the schedule rotation for normal maintenance dredging in the major coves. Due to the numerous dredging
requests from residents, a random selection was held, which determined that homeowners in Section 3 will be given the first
opportunity for private dredging. Normal dredging in the area of Section 3 will occur late this summer or early fall. In the next couple of
months, those homeowners in Section 3 who previously indicated interest in dredging will be contacted to determine continued interest
and to schedule an appointment. During the appointment, the waterfront sediment levels will be surveyed, the request will be
evaluated, advice will be given on what can be accomplished, and a cost estimate will be provided. Once a lot has been scheduled for
dredging, the owner will be notified in plenty of time to obtain the required permit from the LMOA Environmental Control Committee.
For information on the permitting process and requirements, call ECC/Compliance Administrator Carol Cavanaugh at 591-0196. For
more information about dredging specifics, call Project Manager Rich Barringer at 589-1320.
