CITY OF MONONA: North Winnequah Park Lagoon Improvements Preliminary Design

Purpose

The City of Monona would like to do a second of 3 projects to plan a large dredging project in North Winnequah Park Lagoon, which was sited many years ago adjacent to a landfill containing PCBs. The lagoon drains eventually to Lake Monona. This project will prepare preliminary engineering plans for dredging, naturalized shoreline stabilization, and a canoe/kayak launch. This will entail holding public meetings; sediment sampling to determine locations and amounts of contaminants; doing a topographic survey of sediments in new locations to build on previously collected data; and finally, preparing an engineering plan set including technical specifications and cost estimates. The engineering plans will be shared with the City Public Works Committee, which is open to the public.
