COMSTOCK TOWNSHIP, MI A hydropower company will begin dredging impoundment sludge from a Kalamazoo River side channel on Monday and says it’s planning to expand efforts to remove excessive sediment from a reservoir drawdown to other areas of the river.
Eagle Creek Renewable Energy says it will dredge a small oxbow section of river next to Comstock Township’s Wenke Park starting March 1. The side channel has been filled-in with sediment from Morrow Lake that was allowed to wash downriver last year during a reservoir drawdown.
American Electric Power, the parent company of Appalachian Power, has agreed to sell its hydroelectric power plant on the Ohio River at the Racine Locks and Dam to Eagle Creek
