Buxton in Grand Haven
Re: Buxton in Grand Haven
There was a sport they were going to dredge in a river and the bottom was so contaminated that the EPA wouldn't let them dredge. They said that leaving it there was better then disturbing it where if would flow down the river and contaminate more area.
Re: Buxton in Grand Haven
All dredging in the navigable waters of the United States are subject to a Federal permitting process that includes chemical analysis and bioassay testing prior to dredging. If the results indicate that the sediments to be dredged are "clean", the dredged material may be disposed of on an existing sand beach or in a designated disposal area out in the lake. If the dredged material is considered "contaminated", the material must be placed in a designated on-land disposal area.

How are they dragging the pipe or adding pipe as they go. I am also going to assume that the soil is going into Lake Michigan instead of on the beach. Beach goers wouldn't like that.
Re: Buxton in Grand Haven
It is going to the beach, pipes are on the side of the channel leading to the beach.

The Buxton is in Grand Haven http://www.grandhaventribune.com/harbor-cam dreging. They are sweeping back and forth going upriver. What I would like to know is, where is the soil going? I don't see a barge or piping.
