ANNUAL DREDGING REQUIREMENT (CY)
DREDGED MATERIAL MANAGEMENT STATUS
Critical – Dredged Material Management issues could severely restrict channel availability within 5 years
Pressing – Dredged Material Management issues could severely restrict channel availability within 10 years.
No pressing issues within next 10 years; continue to work on long range planning such as DMMPs.
Turbid or muddy water may act as the incubator for algae blooms. The picture on the left shows the plume of sediment coming from the Maumee River on August 26, 2008—a breezy day when the water column was mixing. On the right, in a picture taken on September 3, 2008, you can see that the bloom had grown over the plume.
