Lake Restoration Updates

6/12/25 Lake Lure during drawdown

The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) in coordination with AshBritt Environmental and local contractors, continue efforts to remove debris, silt, and sedimentation from Lake Lure.  This is the latest update on their progress as of 6/6/25: 

376,000 tons of silt/sediment removal (+62,000 Tons).

46,744 cubic yards of debris from the water-way (+4.442 CY).

 

Here is some additional information to help you visualize the process and the progress:

140 trucks are working on any given day.

The average truck holds 25 tons.

330 loads are removed on average each day.

Crews are working 7 days a week, 12 hours a day to complete the mission which we anticipate will continue throughout the summer months, potentially into the fall. This is a dynamic process and we do not have a definitive timeline for completion at this time.
