![]() ![]() The remainder of this de-watered sediment is transferred to one of two additional cells. This material is of an intermediate quality and is best applied as a base for wetland restoration. A portion of the remaining de-watered sediment is shipped off-site as Class B soil. Here, the extracted water enters a rhizofiltration process and is released back into the Maumee River. Water is extracted from this initial material, entering a separate water containment cell. ![]() Here, dredge is pumped into the site (at about 20% solid, 80% water), entering the first of five cells. Edison Park is a riverside brownfield site, located about four miles from the mouth of the Maumee River. Dredge City: sediment catalysis introduces a system that re-structures the dredge management system to leverage it as continual, fluctuating resource.įor the project, sediment is hydraulically dredged from the shipping channel and transported to Edison Park via barge. Sediment dredged from the shipping channels of this region has significant potential as a catalyst for the revitalization of the lake. The condition of Lake Erie has significantly decreased over the past century it has lost 50% of its coastal wetlands and annual algae blooms have become commonplace. ![]() Dredge City: sediment catalysis deploys the idea of catalysis – the process of accelerating a chemical change – at the landscape scale as a design strategy to aid Lake Erie’s failing health. ![]()
