Beaver Lake Association

Dredge Schedule

This schedule is subject to change based on seasonal rains and the amount of silt carried into a cove at any given time. The Board of Directors is responsible for the dredge schedule based on recommendations from the Operations Manager and/or the Lake & Habitat Committee.

For 2007, the schedule below is being reworked due to the limited dredging in 2006. Cove I and J dredging will be continued first depending on silt pond availability.

Current Schedule:

2005 - Cove A3, silt pond S1

2006 - Cove E, L, F, N

2007 - Cove G, M

2008 - Cove M, K

2009 - Cove A, I, J

2010 - Cove B, C, silt pond S2

A detailed description of each cove is available here.

Brush Site

Site normally opens on March 15 of the year, weather permitting. Check the calendar

The Brush site, formerly named the Dump site, is now intended only for brush and materials that can be shredded up as mulch. The mulch is free to members in good standing at Beaver Lake.

The Brush site is located in the southeast corner of the community, just east of the Campground and the Maintenance facility.

Normal operation of the site begins in the spring and extends to late fall, about December 1, depending on weather conditions. On most years, we will be able to dispose of Christmas trees in the first two weeks of January.

The site is periodically closed for buring the brush.

Fill Dirt Sites

The Beaver Lake Association is able to make free top soil available to members due to the unique needs for lake maintenance. We have catch basins on the major surface inflows to the lake. These catch basins, or, silt ponds, serve to restrict the flow of silt into the lake. As these fill up, the soil is placed near the site to drain, dry up, and be stored.

These sites are opened up periodically for members, and sometimes for the communities surrounding Beaver Lake. It is a win/win situation to have the soil removed and put back to work. The limitations on the access are due primarily to weather, safety, and protection of nearby facilities or underground structures. Each site will have different constraints.

The status of these sites will be published here and on the calendar.

Boating

Property owner's can obtain boat stickers for powered boats for $20.00. All non-gas/diesel powered vessels (sail boats, canoes, paddle boats, row boats, etc.) are not subject to the Primary Boat Rule or required to have a Beaver Lake sticker but must have lot numbers affixed to both sides of the boat and must meet all State boating regulations. Boat stickers for powered boats must be put on by Beaver Lake personnel or by a Sheriff. Up to two primary stickers can be purchased per property. Additional secondary boat stickers can be purchased for $50.00 and have certain restrictions.

Stickers can be issued at the Association office during regular business hours or at the boat launch. In order to receive boat stickers you must be a member in good standing, have your state registration and the boat must be registered in the property owners name.

All boats and Jet Skis must have the property lot numbers placed on the boat in the correct area. Lot numbers must be placed at the rear of the boat, on both sides in a visible area above the water line. Lot numbers must be in lettering that is at least 3 inches high. Beaver Lake boat stickers will not be issued to a boat without lot numbers.
