Dredging News

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers awarded a $3.7 million contract to dredge Cleveland Harbor and the six-mile Cuyahoga River shipping channel.

The dredging work is expected to begin by Nov. 1 and be completed by Dec. 15.

Under terms of the agreement, Ryba Marine Construction of Cheboygan, Mich., will dispose of the dredged sediment in a confined disposal facility on the Lake Erie shoreline near Burke Lakefront Airport.

The Army Corps had preferred to dump the sediment directly into Lake Erie but reached a settlement with the Ohio EPA and the Port of Cleveland to store the sediment on land, with the Army Corps paying the additional cost of about $2.1 million.

Owing to the failed agreement between the Army Corps and EPA, it would have been the first time in at least 30 years that the Corps had failed to dredge the shipping channel and harbor.
