Memaloose shoreline work on tap

HOPE — The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality is seeking public comment on a proposal to shore up Lake Pend Oreille's Memaloose Island using riprap.

The comment period closes on Dec. 11.

Erie Properties LLC is seeking permit approval to place 875 cubic yards of angular riprap below the ordinary high-water mark in order to stabilize 1,475 feet of eroding shoreline, according to DEQ. To accomplish the work, there will be 80-90 cubic yards of dredging to create a toe trench for riprap placement.
