Royal Lake: Sediment Sampling Results
Samples were analyzed for chemicals found in typical urban environments
All tests indicated significantly lower concentrations than state limits except for Arsenic
Nitrogen and Phosphorous levels were elevated With dredging of 103,000 CY:
– Approximately 8,500 lbs of Phosphorous will be removed– Approximately 102,000 lbs of Nitrogen will be removed

Phase I and Phase II Dredging
PHASE II48,000 CY
PHASE I15,000 CY
PHASE I40,000 CY
![Page 17: Royal Lake Dredging and Restoration Project Update-June 2014](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/554d39c1b4c905b0708b4801/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Dredging Alternatives
1. Wet Dredging: Mechanically dredge deposited sediment and haul wet. Normal pool maintained. (Note: This option will still require lake drawdown for a short period of time to build the forebay berms)
2. Dry Dredging: Drain the lake and dry deposited sediment in place prior to hauling
3. Project will be bid out with the option to dredge wet or dry
Partial drawdown for Phase I dry dredging: drawing the lake partially to the Phase I dredging limits would leave a 15 acre pool; sediment would be dried in the dewatered section of the lake in place prior to hauling. Approximately 1/2 of the deposited sediment volume would be removed.

General Sequence– Establish access and staging areas– Conduct dredging utilizing barges– Haul wet sediment to disposal site
for drying
Pros– Less weather dependent– Quicker initial start to dredging– Less potential for schedule
extensions or delay
Concerns– Increased sediment handling effort
at disposal area– Potentially higher cost
Wet Dredging
![Page 19: Royal Lake Dredging and Restoration Project Update-June 2014](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/554d39c1b4c905b0708b4801/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
General Sequence– Initiate drawdown of lake– Establish access and staging areas– Establish diversion channels within lake– Conduct dredging
Benefits– Higher daily sediment removal rates– Minimal sediment handling effort at disposal
area– Potentially lower cost
Concerns– Very weather dependent– Higher potential for delays due to weather– Even with a reduced pool, there will be a need
to relocate/salvage fish
Dry Dredging (Full or Partial Drawdown)
![Page 20: Royal Lake Dredging and Restoration Project Update-June 2014](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/554d39c1b4c905b0708b4801/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Royal Lake: Partial Drawdown
A partial drawdown would leave 15 acre pool with a maximum depth of 8 feet
Sediment to be removed = 55,000 CY
DRAW-DOWN 55,000 CY

Community coordination at design and construction phase– Pardon Our Dust meeting to be scheduled after contractor selection
Late 2014/Early 2015: Complete final design Spring 2015: Bid advertisement Late summer 2015: Begin dredging Project Duration:
– Phase 1, Base Dredge: Dredge approximately 55,000 CY = 5 to 6 Months
– Phase 2, Full Dredge: 9 to 12 Months (total)
Lake may be drained/partially drained for project depending on bid results For the wet dredge option, the lake will still require lowering for a short period
to construct the forebays
