The contractor removing the silt from the pond at Lakemont Park should finish by the end of May, according to the engineer overseeing the project.
Workers for Glenn O. Hawbaker Inc. of State College may be done hauling the mud they’re scraping from the bottom of the lake to the Antis Township drop-off site in about a week after which they’ll do cleanup and restoration, Brian Shura of Stiffler McGraw told the Intergovernmental Stormwater Committee on Thursday.
The ISC is paying Hawbaker about $1.4 million to dredge the lake to help the area represented by the committee’s 11 member municipalities to comply with a state requirement to shrink the amount of sediment entering area streams by 1.4 million pounds per year over the five years ending in 2023.
