FY1999 Great Lakes Projects

Beneficial Use of Dredge Material

Beneficial Use of Dredge Material (DW96947945-01-0: $25,000)

Recipient: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - Buffalo District

Project Period: 10/01/99 to 1/31/01

Project Officer: Scott Cieniawski (312-353-9184)

This interagency agreement will support the development of a cost estimate and site preparation design plans for a beneficial use demonstration project at the Toledo Harbor Confined Disposal Facility (CDF). Several private vendors have indicated that they would like to use significant amounts of the dredged material from annual navigation dredging in separate, economically self-sufficient projects. This project will investigate the economic feasibility of the beneficial use projects and determine the site preparation work to prepare the site for use by the private vendors.
