(KLZA)-- During the June meeting of the Nemaha Natural Resources District Board of Directors, a plan for a sediment basin at Kirkman’s Cove Recreation Ara near Humboldt was approved. 

HDR Engineering provided a pair of options, one expanding the size of the basin so it would provide an additional water hazard for the adjacent Kirkman’s Lakeview Golf Course.  The other, was a basic sediment basin design option. 

With no additional sediment storage realized by the first option, and the golf course not interested in paying the extra cost associated with that option, the Board approved the basic design option. 

The next step is to begin processing the 404 permit with the Corps of Engineers.  Construction of the sediment basin is not likely to begin until next year.
