!NOTICE! - HICKORY HILLS PARK IMPROVEMENTS
Black Hawk County Conservation is working on two exciting
park improvement projects for Hickory Hills Park. A new wastewater treatment
facility and Casey Lake Renovations.
We are working with engineers to secure our construction
permit for replacement of the Hickory Hills Park sewage lagoon. The new septic
tank and absorption mound will utilize the same general area as the current
lagoon. Park users can expect construction to begin in 2022 with completion
fall of 2022 or spring of 2023.
Additionally, we have partnered with the Iowa Department of
Natural Resources to improve the water quality of Casey Lake in Hickory Hills
Park. Engineers are working to access the lake and the surrounding watershed to
determine necessary project elements. Park users should expect to see work
begin on the Casey Lake watershed project elements in 2022. A later phase of
this project will include drawdown of Casey Lake and sediment removal. This project
is a phased project and will occur across several years. The anticipated
project timeframe is 2022 – 2025.
If you are looking to reserve cabins, shelters, campsites,
or the Lakeview Lodge, please consider that during your reservation period, the
normal quiet, scenic Hickory Hills Park may be interrupted with ongoing
construction work including, operation of construction vehicles and disturbed
areas of the park including the eventual drawdown and excavation of Casey
Lake. Reservations placed after the
posting of this notice will not be refunded for reasons associated with any of
the said construction occurrences.
