A Prioritized Dredging Project in Chautauqua County

The Chautauqua County Planning Board recently unveiled its recommended projects the county should fund for fiscal year 2018. Dredging near the Conewango Watershed Dam is being considered the highest capital project priority.

The 10-member board came to a consensus that the No.1 project was dredging the reservoir area to remove sediment build-up at the Conewango NRSC Dam Site 33. The board recognized the necessity of property maintenance of critical facilities like the dam, which is why it’s the top priority to fund next year. Between engineering and construction, the project is estimated at $135,000.

The dam is located in the town of Cherry Creek and dredging the area would ensure normal pool capacity and proper function of the reservoir drain.
