cooley canal dredge

[eye-man]

FYI- Meinke West and Anchor Point are in Cooley Canal (this is the one they are dredging) CCYC is in Wards Canal further east. I would assume they will begin the dredge at the harbor entrance and work back toward the south. I generally had about 6-8 feet of water under my boat last year until I would pass the Bitter End resturant that is where it seems most of the sediment is and it was getting very shallow during sept./oct. (2-3 ft.) There were times when it was hard for me to get down into the boat off of the fixed dock the water was down so much. And if I had any older people along they could not even think about making the leap.

Without knowing what the bid documents identify, I would say that the following would be the areas:

Area 1 - from the lake front south to just past the Bitter End - this is the shallowest part of the canal - plus the narrowest.

Area 2 - From area 1 to the last canal south of Anchor Point Marina

Area 3 - From the last south canal of Anchor Point Marina to the gas docks of Mienke Marina and up to the canal that goes into the east section of Mienke Marina (old Flietz Marina)

Area 4 - It is either the canal from Cooley Canal west to the public launch ramps of Lucas County or the rest of the canal from the east section of Mienke Marina south to the road

All of these areas combined add up to .67 miles
