Wednesday, August 9, 2017 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon 5 Forest Service proposes boat ramp restoration at Suttle Lake The Sisters Ranger District is seeking out the public’s concerns, questions, and suggestions regarding a project proposal to recon- struct and maintain four boat ramps and associated docks at Suttle Lake. Public comments will help the Forest Service identify issues to be considered in the environmental review of this proposal. The project would take place at the Blue Bay, South Shore, and Link Creek Campgrounds and the West Suttle Lake Day Use Area. Boat ramps and associated facilities were constructed in the 1970s and require ongoing and costly mainte- nance, and some need to be replaced, the Forest Service reports. In some locations the section of the ramp below the level of the lake has dete- riorated, subsided, or lacks an anchoring system. The Forest Service believes that the project would provide a safe and enjoyable recreational oppor- tunity, ensure the integrity of campground boat ramps and docks, and provide for pub- lic health and safety at Suttle Lake. Construction activities include replacement of exist- ing asphalt boat ramps with cast in-place concrete ramps; construction of accessible paths, and installation of boat anchoring systems. The public is invited to comment on the pro- posed action. Submit com- ments to Suttle Lake Boat Ramp Reconstruction and Maintenance Project, Project Merton L.
