Mistakes Made
• Understand the material you are working with:–Removal rate–Material handling–Wet vs. dry volumes
18
![Page 19: Keith Gray, ILM](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052300/589d8c7c1a28aba94a8bb18f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Mistakes Made
• Consider secondary use & associated costs:–Will it support growth?–Will it dry?–Will it erode easily?–Contaminated?

Pre‐Dredging Investigation Benefits:
• Determine sediment distribution• Determine sediment type
– secondary use– Disposal– compaction
• Identify high priority areas• Identify source of sediment

Pre‐Dredging Investigation Benefits:
• Determine the most effective method of removal (hydraulic, wet mechanical, dry mechanical).
• Identify qualified contractors and use information gathered to create a bid package.
• Options for removed sediment.
