Document Description
In order to address the public health and safety concerns that have arisen from the low water levels and the lack of access to Clear Lake for emergency services and projects, the County of Lake Public Works Department proposes to install pre-cast concrete mats at the end of the existing ramps to extend the useable surface of the ramps for continued access to Clear Lake, as the drought is expected to continue
and water levels continue to drop. The ledges and "drop-offs" will be filled in using the accumulated gravel present on site. The accumulated gravel at the end of the ramps will be spread out to level the boat ramp approach so as to create a slightly deeper channel for boats to launch from. The channel will not exceed 3 feet in depth and no material will be removed from the lake. A barge-supported excavator
will spread the material from the end of the existing ramps in the lake. Only the material that is contributing to a public safety hazard in the channels will be managed.
Implementation of these ramp maintenance projects will allow the public and private water companies, Sheriff's Department and Search and Rescue teams to continue to access Clear Lake so they can continue to provide the community with drinking water and respond to safety concerns and emergencies.
