Lake Koshkonong Dredging (UPDATE III)

Truck hauling of stone to the site is completed and the berm is mostly complete, with stone stockpiled at the fill area to complete the berm as dredge spoil fill is completed.  The rising water levels are continuing to cause trouble with the ice road – water level is now 7.16, which opens us up to at least discussing cost implications of the water levels although Badgerland hasn’t said anything yet.  The problem is that the rising water levels crack the ice road and raises it off the lake bottom.  Dredging has started with a small stockpile near the launch ramp but dredge haul to the fill site is now delayed till Wednesday because of the ice road needing repair.  If the water stops rising and we have a good week of cold weather – which is in the forecast – we should get the work done.
