Lake Como Rehabilitation

Lake Como Rehabilitation

The City of Bloomer needed to deepen Lake Como to improve its water quality, improve their swimming beach, replace their boat launch and repair damaged storm sewer outfalls.

This project had the following challenges:

  • Understanding and meeting the numerous regulatory requirements associated
    with a lake rehabilitation project.
  • Completing all the improvements before water could be impounded behind the
    City’s dam which creates Lake Como.

The project proceeded to completion without delay within a set schedule and a fixed budget despite issues that came up during the project. The issues that were effectively managed included:

  • The need to alter lake dredging depths and locations.
  • Having to mitigate private citizens concerns about changes to their shoreline.

After removing 300,000 cubic yards of dredged material from the lake bed during one winter of construction, the lake was filled. The following spring an improved swimming beach and new boat launch opened. Today the lake is a regional resource for recreation, fishing and swimming.
