O Box 90 <br />Navarre, Minnesota, U.S.A. 55392 <br />(612) 471-8407 <br />On Saturday, November 11, I was invited by Dr. David Dunlap to <br />view a proposed dredging project on Crystal Bay at Bohn'& Point. <br />Dr. Dunlap proposes to remove about 50 cubic feet of sand using <br />the suction dredging technique so as to facilitate access to a <br />small lagoon. The entrance to the lagoon has been silted up over <br />the yearn, as a result of power boats mcving sediment towards the <br />Bohn's Point shoreline. <br />The site where Dr. Dunlap proposes to pump the sediment is <br />adequately contoured so that water losses will occur primarily by <br />evaporation. <br />If Dr. Dunlap uses the suction dredging technique, then for sllch <br />a ama!' ainount of sediment, there will be minimal disturbance to <br />the ecosystem. In fact there are certain ecological advantages <br />to the program suggested by Dr. Dunlap. <br />(1) Dr. Dunlap will not have to construct a lengthy dock to <br />provide access to i lake. There are obvious aesthetic <br />aspects to elating back on the numbers of docks of this type. <br />(2) The small lagoon will be accessible to spawning fish, especially <br />northern pike and crappie. At the present time it is not <br />accessible. <br />(3) If the lagoon is not opened to the lakt it will -lowly develop <br />Into a mosquito breeding ar.a with stagna•it water. <br />Although I recoKnize that br. Dunlap has access to Crystal Bay already <br />on his lakefront, in my opinion his project is a small one which has <br />aesthetic as well as environmental merit. <br />I <br />Y ra sincerely, <br />/ J M.
