Phase Two of Salt Lake dredging project gets under way
The second phase of a US$700,000 Salt Lake dredging project in Hawaii has got under way to remove the accumulated sediment, vegetation and debris on the Likini Street side of the waterway.
Phase one of the dredging, covering the portion along Ala Napunani Street to the outlet channel, was completed last year. The waterway has been dredged to a depth of 3ft.
Phase two will extend into the waterway along Likini Street toward Salt Lake Elementary School, and the final phase will include the main lake.
Grant Tanimoto, chairman of the Aliamanu/Salt Lake/Foster Village Neighborhood Board, said the project will not only clean pollutants, but help make it safer for residents in case of flooding.
