Attached is the current MOA for Lake Higgins. It only mentions access to their property in relation to the feeder
program; however, the fish program, feeder program, and fishing access program are all one -in- the -same at this time,
from our perspective. So maybe access for construction can be granted under the current MOA. Nevertheless, a new
{ MOA will be created in the near future. However, they have given us permission to access their grounds based on the

Subject: RE: Higgins Pier
Brian,
I have answered your questions in the order you asked them below. Thanks for your assistance with this project and let
me know if you need anymore information from me. Also if you could let me know a timeline or projected start date (I
know prior to your fiscal year end) as soon as you hear something that would be great. Obviously we have a busy
summer schedule here at Lake Higgins as well as informing the public our pier will be "down" for a short time period.
Thanks again,
Your staff /contractors will have full access to the boat ramp as well as an area to "beach" near the pier shoreline.
• We can dispose of the refuse /pieces of the old pier. Google image pin #1 would not be an area where we could
place the refuse on the ground. That area is our primary kayaking launch and rental boat launch. Pin #2 is
definitely a better site although room is tight and the ground may be soft. We have plenty of space in the gravel
parking area and in the park for that matter to place materials prior to disposal. Once again as we finalize dates
hopefully we can make our staff and perhaps equipment available to haul the old pier away. I realize an ideal
location will be as close to construction /water's edge as possible.
• In a given year Lake Higgins fluctuates very little. Maybe up 2.5 inches during heavy rain. Max overfull I have
seen is maybe 8 inches once or twice in the past 6 years
• In the summer barely any shore is exposed regularly. 1ft would be considered average.
• In the 6 years I have been here the water has only been very low /drought conditions one time (2007). We have
maintained a steady lake level with the spill way and rain the other 5 years.
• Wind or waves have never been an issue at the pier. Boat traffic is minimal at best near the pier (caution buoys,
informed boaters, etc.). Furthermore, I have never seen water splash onto the existing pier or boards /sections
becoming loose due to waves. Lake Higgins is known to offer relatively calm seas.
• As of today (lake level +1 inch) the depth of 5 ft can be found 103 ft out on the existing pier. At 151 ft (the end of
the existing pier) the depth is 7 ft. I realize this is shallow that is why we have looked at having as long of a pier as
engineering would allow The floating feeder is in approximately 9.5 ft of water, an easy cast away and is known
for catching some great fish as your staff witnessed last summer
