One of our more creative solutions is the use of "jersey barriers" to contain the dredging sediments. This, in combination with an environmentally approved drying agent, allows for safe upland disposal of dredge materials.

Bioremediation

As part of the comprehensive dredging process, we use a treatment for the conditioning of water and soil known as bioremediation.  Central to the treatment process is a technology that uses bacteria and other microorganisms for degrading complex compounds associated with pollution. When applied as a part of the engineering/dredging/management programs this form of bioremediation has proven to reduce toxic leachates from entering the groundwater systems, while reducing organic sediments and other point source pollutants in the surface water column. The active bacteria products we use are non-pathogenic, non-engineered, naturally occurring environmental isolates that are patented and EPA approved. In most cases, after thorough testing and analysis, a treatment program can be developed for any body of water suffering from the effects of eutrophication, storm water runoff, sewer discharge or industrial effluent.
