Wilde Lake Sediment Management Overview

John McCloy and Danielle Bodnar discuss the sediment management project at Wilde Lake, focusing on sediment removal, water quality monitoring, and environmental impact reduction. They compare current and previous dredging methods, highlight cost savings, and consider wildlife. Future plans include sediment management at Lake Alcorn and addressing sediment sources from stormwater runoff.
