The Dredge Report

If you are wondering when the prep work is going to start on the Bean Field for the dredging operation...forgeddaboutit.  Here is the recent change of plans.  You might recall the idea was to use the BF for the dredging of North Cove and north end sites.  Apparently EPA and DNR approvals had been secured but...our friends at KCMO said Whoa!  I am not privy to the details but apparently the specter of a long drawn out back and forth with KCMO (remember Peret?) moved the Dredge America and WLIC to plan B.

Plan B involves adding approximately 2,000 more feet of pipe to transport all of the material below the dam.  Plan B would involve no extra cost to WLIC, or so I am told.  I did not attend last Monday's WLIC monthly meeting...if you did or want to add your 2 cents, feel free.

KC owns a tiny part of the bean field (corner of barry and amity) where construction is going on.

Hoodwinked ? said...

How many of us have paid and/or still paying for the bean field? Sure would like to find out it has something to do with the construction and not that we have all been hoodwinked.

This has gone from inconvenient to unbelievable. Where is the mayor? Where is the wlic?
