The applicant requests authorization to hydraulicly dredge approximately 150 cubic yards of accumulated sediments within a Lake Pepin (Mississippi River) backwater area using a portable suction dredge pump system. The proposed dredging would remove 2-3’ of bed material to provide adequate water depths for recreational boats. Dredged material would be pumped to an upland containment area along the shoreline for disposal. The containment area would consist of erosion cloth, berms, silt fence, and be planted with native grasses and forbs to stabilize the site.
