Public Affairs: Laura Totten - Tuttle Creek Dredging Project - 11/01/2025

Katy Jeter talks with Laura Totten about the Tuttle Creek Dredging Project — an effort aimed at removing built-up sediment to restore water storage capacity and improve overall lake health. Totten explains that the pilot test, lasting ten days, will focus on specific areas near the dam to evaluate dredging methods and sediment handling techniques. The results will help determine the most efficient and environmentally sound approach for a full-scale operation. Once the pilot is complete, the next steps will involve reviewing the data, finalizing plans, and preparing for a long-term dredging process that will enhance recreation, water quality, and flood control at Tuttle Creek.
