Kansas dredging eyed to extend John Redmond reservoir life
Kansas plans a five year, 25 million dollar effort to reclaim lost storage at John Redmond Reservoir on the Neosho River near Burlington. Dredging would cost 13.2 million with 4.5 million for land to dispose of sediment and 7.3 million for stream bank stabilization. The plan faces funding and legislative hurdles as communities rely on Redmond for water and recreation.
