Abstract |
Dredging was used as a method to remove 62,600 cubic yards of silt from Lake Herman during the summers of 1970, 1971, and 1972. The silt was transported via a pipeline to a silt deposit area adjacent to the northeast corner of the lake. The water removed by the dredging process drained by gravity along a gradual slope, dropping its silt and losing nutrients to the lush vegetation, and eventually returned to the lake. In the bay area where dredging occurred water depth was increased from 5.5 feet to approximately 11 feet. There was no significant change in the levels of biological organisms or nutrients, except for phosphorus, which increased just after the dredging began. |
