This is what I don't like. Moses Lake Irrigation and Rehabilitation District (MLIRD) has a permit for 5 years in order to remove the silt east of the Alder Street fill using a dredge. For the last year management claims the project is on schedule and working as planned. That would make you believe 1/5th of the silt has been removed. I challenge you to stand on Alder Street fill and look east, what do you see? A larger lake and island 1/5 the size it was last year? Doesn't look like it to me. The dredge is not working as planned and something needs to be done to either get it working properly or other options need to be looked at.
