Blackwell Island Marina--KEA Comments in Response to the Draft Certification for Army Corps of Engineers
Kootenai Environmental Alliance, Spokane Riverkeepers, Idaho Conservation League and The Lands Council submitted comments in response to the Draft Certification for Army Corps of Engineers NWW No. 051200031 to dredge and place fill in Coeur d’Alene Lake.
We submitted comments previously to the Idaho Department of Lands and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regarding the marina project expressing our concerns about the ongoing risk associated with the dredging of contaminated lake sediments and on-site storage of those sediments.
Our basic concerns are that the proposal includes permanent, on-site storage of dredged toxic sediments, in what amounts to a new private repository, within the flood plain of a heavily populated area.
