Lakeside Chautauqua is continuing to make progress on the western shoreline. Last fiscal year, we received state funding to support the project.
Pending issuance of permits submitted to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the plan is to first place toe stone (large in the water stone) embedded two feet into the lakebed. The large toe stone in the water will help dissipate the waves and energy along this location. The permit process typically takes 7-10 months.
In spring 2024, new armor stone will be placed along the slope of the existing revetment on top of the toe stone. This will prevent long-term erosion along the western shoreline.
KS Associates, located in Elyria, Ohio, is the project lead. Work will start in Spring 2024 once all permits are in hand. We are grateful to Mother Nature for lowering the water level while we wait for our repairs.
Lakeside gave a Western Shoreline Update via Zoom on March 21. Unfortunately, there were technical difficulties while recording so there is no video update. We will continue to update you on the progress of this project over the next few months.
