The Missouri Sedimentation Action Coalition has been working on solutions for siltation in Lewis & Clark Lake for almost twenty years and may be getting close to action.
Executive Director Sandy Stockholm spoke to the Yankton City Commission this week and says the just passed federal Water Resources Development Act should be the conduit to help the Corps of Engineers move on their studies..

Stockholm says letters of support from MSAC (m-sack) partners will help trigger the action plan..

Stockholm says any actual plan is still a ways off..

MSAC has hired a hydraulic expert to help craft the plan that could lead to the removal of some of the thousands of tons of mud that have built up in the lake since the late 1950s.
