What can be done regarding silt removal (particularly in small inlets)?
A. The Lanier Project Office can issue permits to authorize dredging under a Regional Permit Authority. There is a maximum limit of 5,000 cubic yards allowed for silt removal only. The removal of hard pan, the original lake bottom, can only be authorized by an Individual Permit (IP), which is not issued to private adjacent land owners. The Corps does not have funds for dredging within the Lanier project budget.
