Dredge material from Toledo Harbor gains new life in engineered soil
Dredging shipping channels is an unavoidable part of harbor maintenance across the Great Lakes. But once the sediment is removed from the shipping channel, where does it go? Funded by Ohio Sea Grant Dr. Elizabeth Dayton, Research Scientist in Ohio State University’s School of Environment & Natural Resources, is working to reuse of up to 100,000 cubic yards of dredge material per year.
