Student outlines large‑scale dredging vision, recommends smaller Moore Park pilot
Summary
A student presenter proposed dredging and water‑quality improvements for local waterways, initially citing a very large cleanup estimate then proposing a more modest $3 million pilot for Moore Park and suggesting grants from state watershed programs and USDA sources.
A student presenter (identified in the transcript as S4) urged attention to lake and river water quality, describing both a broad long‑term cleanup vision and a more immediately achievable pilot for Moore Park.
In the presentation the speaker cited a very large, likely imprecise figure of $22,000,000,000 for a full-scale dredging plan but immediately acknowledged uncertainty about that number and proposed instead a more manageable Moore Park pilot with an estimated cost of about $3,000,000. The speaker emphasized sediment disposal and public engagement as key implementation issues and suggested pursuing grants such as from the Oregon Watershed Enhancement program and USDA funding sources.
The Chair and commissioners thanked the students; no board vote or funding decision occurred during the session. The presenter asked the community to organize small actions and fundraising to support a pilot project.
