The entrance to the lagoon has been silted up over <br /> the years as a result of power boats moving sediment towards the <br /> Dr.Joseph P.Rossillon, $OIlIItS Point shoreline. <br /> Executive Directa <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 such <br /> a small amount of sediment, there will be minimaI 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 the lake. There are obvious aesthetic <br /> aspects to cutting 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 lake it will slowly develop <br /> into a mosquito breeding area with stagnant water. <br /> Although I recognize that Dr. 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 en�rironmental merit. <br /> Y6 rs sincere�, <br /> ,� � ^ <br /> ,� ���,. <br /> J M.
