The estuary is a truly poor idea based in idealistic dreams of utopia. The State DES is apologizing for not taking action but that inaction was well underway 20+ years ago when they failed to maintain the lake per design. Periodic dredging to remove sediment has always been in the Capitol lake plan. It was built as a sediment trap for the Deschutes, which it does well. Now when they take out that dam, all of that sediment will flush into the Port and Marinas. Commerce and recreation will suffer significantly.
I strongly urge all affected parties to prepare lawsuits for damages...I wonder if DES will set aside money for that?
