Dredging Areas for the upcoming 2025 season will include north of 8289 N Kiger Dr on Lake Shafer in Monticello, IN 47960. From there, the dredge will work down-river and hopefully make it near N Barekman Ct. by the end of the season. The dredge being used is a 12-inch dredge, which means that it has a pump with a 12-inch discharge port. It will be removing sediments coming down the Tippecanoe River. Watch for the pipeline and the buoys marking it. The pipeline is transporting the sediments to a disposal site. These projects are occurring within Idle Zones established and enforced by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. Please respect the Idle Zones.
