Dear Twin Lakes Neighbor

The Twin Lakes Improvement Association (TLIA) has been working hard to facilitate some positive steps toward improving access through the public navigation channel. TLIA received a permit from Idaho Department of Lands to suction dredge about two feet of sediment across a 60-foot wide navigation channel between the Narrows at Upper Twin Lake down to the bridge at the entrance to Lower Twin Lake and to the boat launch. Approximately 6,800 cubic yards of sediments will be pumped from the Channel up to the sand pit north of the road on Upper Twin Lake where it will be dewatered. It will then be loaded and hauled about 3 miles to be used as an agricultural soil amendment. The board retained the services of an experienced company to help us implement the project.

Estimated project costs are approximately $160,000- $180,000. The project may take 6-7 weeks to complete. This spring, the Board will apply for a federal 319 grant, which is how the Fish Creek restoration project was funded. If we receive the grant, 60% of the project would be funded leaving us with about $64,000-$72,000 to contribute, or with in-kind work. We will update you on this project as more information becomes available. If you have questions about the project, please contact Mike Knowles at (509) 863-4359, Doug Jayne (509) 710-7188, or Debbie Andrews at (724) 553-8779.

THIS IS WHERE WE GET INVOLVED. We need your help in raising money for this project. We are hopeful you will see the need to join with a donation and help us fundraise to make this worthwhile project a reality.
