The Lake Wichita dredging project, under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Continuing Authorities Program, is currently in a queue for approval among other nationally ranked projects, with a feasibility study to begin only after that approval is granted. Corps Project Manager Chad King toured the lake on July 15 and noted its shallow depth and limited water-holding capacity due to the spillway elevation, which restricts storage during rainy seasons.
