Town Of Carolina Beach Working Towards Restarting Lake Dredge Project Town Of Carolina Beach Working Towards Restarting Lake Dredge Project Featured By WILLARD KILLOUGH III Managing Editor CAROLINA BEACH - The Town of Carolina Beach continues to explore ways to complete a project started in 2017 to dredge the Carolina Beach Lake to add more capacity for storm water runoff. The Town of Carolina Beach continues to search for options to dispose of material dredged from the Carolina Beach Lake in 2017 as part of a $2.7 million dollar project to create more capacity in the lake to hold storm runoff. Dredging was suspended August 29th, 2017 when the U.S. Army demanded the Town stop hauling dirt to land leased to the Town since the 1970's for a wastewater treatment plant off Dow Road. The Town was placing the dirt at an unapproved location on the property.
