Dredging Starts at Lone Star Lake
Dredging begins at Lone Star Lake to remove years of silt. Public Works Director Keith Browning says Dredge America of Kansas City started late last week. The plan is deeper dredging around the cove edges with less elsewhere to keep total volume near the original target, weather permitting. The project aims to finish by June along with spillway reconstruction.
