Work has commenced on setting up the Laydown area that will support the dredging of the Hotham River at Lions Weir.
This area will house the Geotubes into which the wet sediment is pumped from the dredger. These are designed to allow water to drain well from the sediment, which can be collected and pumped back into the river.
The dredging contractor had planned to mobilise to site in early June, however, with the lack of rain, this is likely to be delayed to early July. Dredging will be ongoing for up to 12 weeks.
