WATCH: Dredging Operations at O.C. Fisher Reservoir
SAN ANGELO, TX – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is currently conducting dredging operations at O.C. Fisher Lake.
Dredging equipment is currently operating from a floating barge positioned in front of the outlet works tower. Silt removed during the operation is pumped to a placement area and collected into specially engineered filtration containers to ensure environmental compliance prior to final removal and disposal.
Filtration containers may remain in place for up to six months after completion of dredging. The project to remove silt from the approach channel is expected to be complete by the end of May 2021.
