| Most Popular Trail to Beach, At Last Low Dune Before Lake |

|
The entrance to most popular stretch of beach in the Park. In the general vicinity of
one of the proposed sites for the pumping station. Laketown and Holland refer to this
trail as an "existing road." The rope is 20 feet long. The construction site for the
pumping station would be a square ten times wider than this rope is long. The hole
would be at least 60 feet deep (5+ stories). Among the DNR’s Parks and Recreation
Bureau’s concerns are high-risk erosion area, critical dunes (Read their
April 11 letter),
and "significant and permanent negative impacts to this dune system." For an example of a pumping station similar to that proposed for this spot see the Grand Rapids pumping station. This is an image of pumping station construction at VanBuren State Park. |
