What a blessing! Neighborhood boaters with sediment impediment get help from Fundamentalist Baptists:
Nearly two millions gallons of canal sludge being pumped over to the Iowa Regular Baptist Camp at Clear Lake
"The Venetian Canal was opened in 1957 with an original depth of eight-feet....[with] properties benefiting from the lake access the canal provided....Over the years, four-feet of silt has settled into the canal."
Venetian Village Canal Association President Mike Schweizer said...sediment is being pumped from the canal to the Iowa Regular Baptist Camp, located just west of Venetian Village on the north side of the lake....'we never thought they would be interested in having this much fill pumped to the camp,' said Schweizer, who has been working to organize the dredging project for years."
"[They've] constructed a one-half acre berm at the Baptist Camp to contain the silt being pumped from the canal. As the sediment settles at the site, clean water drains back into the lake. After the fill dries, the Baptist Camp will use it for its landscaping projects....vegetation, as well as litter and other objects settled in the silt has somewhat slowed the dredging progress by clogging."
