Committee warns Peninsula Drive dredging could cost millions; asks for engineering estimate and EGLE guidance
Summary
Committee members said Peninsula Drive could require roughly $3 million to $4 million of dredging depending on cubic-yard pricing and asked staff to obtain engineering estimates (estimated $30k–$250k) and EGLE permitting guidance before committing funds.
Committee members flagged Peninsula Drive as a potential large, high-priority dredging area and said uncertainty about lake-bottom quantities and permitted removal could push the cost well above earlier estimates. In different parts of the discussion Peninsula was described as about a $3 million project, with alternative estimates suggesting work north of Peninsula could approach $4 million depending on per-cubic-yard pricing.
Given that uncertainty, committee members supported seeking professional engineering assistance to determine project limits, quantities, permitting needs and costs; members discussed a possible engineering estimate range between about $30,000 and $250,000. The Village will contact EGLE for preliminary guidance on what material may be permitted for removal before spending on engineering or testing is committed.
