![]() ![]() Trucks transporting sediment will be utilizing the proposed access road shown in green (figure 2), on Old Baltimore Road. When work on the project begins, portions of the walking path around the lake will be closed to ensure public safety. After sediment has dried enough for transport, it will loaded onto trucks an taken to an approved disposal facility. When removed, the sediment will be temporarily stored in the staging area outlined in yellow (figure 2). The sediment removal (dredging) will be conducted mechanically in the dry, following dewatering of the southern portion of the lake as shown by the red outlined area in figure 2 above. Replacement of the valve will allow the contractor to regulate the lake levels during sediment removal. In addition, the lake drain valve (located inside the concrete riser structure) is in poor condition and will be replaced as part of the lake dredging project. Based on the survey, it was determined that 11,000 cubic yards (approximately 1,100 dump truck loads) of sediment need to be removed from the southern portion of the Lake to improve water storage capacity. In 2015 the MCDEP conducted a survey of Lake Hallowell. ![]()
