Dredging McDill Pond

McDill Pond completed a one million dollar dredging project to complete a 20-year dredge. The silt trap dredged in 2000 was two thirds full, and to prevent further sedimentation in McDill the silt trap was dredged. The purpose of the dredge was to solely preserve McDill Pond from further sedimentation and allow navigation so that the waterbody can be preserved for years to come. The construction of the detention basin had been completed at 4001 Patch St (McDill Disk Golf and Lake District Harvester Landing) and dredging commenced mid to late June 2023. Michels Corp was the dredging contractor, Earth Inc was the construction/soil disposal contractor, and GEI Consulting was providing engineering services. The design of the dredging project with all the maps and depths, cross layers, etc can be found in the permit: WDNR IP Dredging Permit Application_DRAFT.
