Superior Seawalls is working on a plan to allow lakefront homeowners the opportunity to dredge in front of their properties, at the homeowners expense. This dredging project will take a few months to complete. This sediment/water mix (called a slurry) is piped to the disposal basin on land where the water is drained off and the sediments are left to dry.įall, 2023: Superior Seawalls will begin our anticipated lake dredging shortly after Labor Day of this year. A cutter with steel blades dislodges the sediments, and a centrifugal pump "sucks up" the muck. The dredging machinery is incorporated onto a floating hull. Spot dredging can be beneficial in improving boat and shoreline access, clearing clogged channels and bays, creating hollows for cool water fishes in the summer, and deeper areas for fish in the winter, and forming boat and fish "cruising lanes" through aquatic plant beds. To manage costs and protect the lake’s ecosystem, the RCD and its consulting team recommend a “spot” dredging program using a hydraulic system. Without thoughtful action now, our beloved Lost Lake will eventually become silted in. Over the years, silt and sediment has built up on the lakebed which reduces the depth of the waterways making boating more difficult, spurs algae growth and aquatic weed infestations, and leads to poor conditions for fish.
