Izard-Carroll<br \/>\n<\/strong>The expression \u2018dirt cheap\u2019 may soon take on a deeper meaning thanks to some changes occurring throughout the country\u2014particularly in the Great Lakes region. While most people think of dirt or, more technically, \u2018soil,\u2019 in terms of farm fields or construction borrow sites (<em>i.e.<\/em> designated locations from which fill materials are excavated for use elsewhere), changes in the dredging industry may soon provide a new dimension for a wide range of commercial, environmental, and agricultural projects.<\/p>\n<p>Both private and government agencies (<em>e.g.<\/em> U.S. Army Corps of Engineers [USACE]) routinely dredge the nation\u2019s lakes and rivers so vessels can access inland ports. Every year, they remove over 2.2 million m<sup>3<\/sup> (3 million cy) of sediment from the five Great Lakes alone. Considering only Lake Erie, USACE dredges an average of more than 1.1 million m<sup>3<\/sup> (1.5 million cy) annually.<\/p>\n<p>Historically, dredgers placed excavated sediment at authorized locations on the lake or delivered it to large diked structures called confined disposal facilities. Recently, however, the dredging community has been working to find better uses for dredged material. Legislation passed by the State of Ohio to reduce lake placement\u2014the historical practice of placing dredged sediment into designated areas of a lake, typically adjacent to the harbor being dredged\u2014has bolstered emphasis on beneficial use alternatives.<\/p>\n<p>The Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority (TLCPA) is currently leading an effort to plan for the full-scale implementation of beneficial use of dredged materials for agricultural and blended soil product purposes. TLCPA designed and constructed a facility specifically for this purpose, called the Great Lakes Dredged Material Center for Innovation. This facility is now operational, and received approximately 30,582 m<sup>3<\/sup> (40,000 cy) of dredged sediment last summer. TLCPA is currently assessing best management practices for use of these soils on farm fields.<\/p>\n<p>Another notable example of useful application of dredged sediment is the Cuyahoga Valley Industrial Center (CVIC) project, completed in 2010. This unique <em>Recovery Act<\/em> demonstration project involved the reuse of approximately 229,366 m<sup>3<\/sup> (300,000 cy) of dredged sediment, taken from a USACE-confined disposal facility near Burke Lakefront Airport in Cleveland. The material was used at a 23-ha (58-acre) brownfield site. The objective of the project was to overlay the existing site soils with cleaner dredged sediments to create a viable location for redevelopment. The work resulted in an elevated, buildable site that garnered widespread support from local and state stakeholders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis project serves as a prototype for similar projects that might benefit from upland use of dredged materials,\u201d says Bryan Hinterberger, outreach specialist with USACE\u2019s Buffalo, New York, district.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere seems to be broad support for beneficial use on the Great Lakes,\u201d says Frank O\u2019Connor, PE, senior project manager for CVIC. \u201cPeople see it as an attractive alternative to either building expensive new confined disposal facilities or open lake placement. However, there continues to be a need to develop more cost-effective upland or in-water alternatives for these materials. We\u2019re confident that opportunities are available with the abundance of material, private sector innovation, and a strong desire to make it work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis can be an opportune time for businesses interested in being on the forefront of an emerging market,\u201d says Michael Asquith, the dredging program manager for USACE\u2019s Buffalo district. \u201cGaining experience from beneficial use projects could ultimately prove to be a game changer in terms of having access to significant quantities of soil in urban areas where navigation channels are located.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Buffalo district is currently developing bid documents for the excavation and reuse of up to 76,455 m<sup>3<\/sup> (100,000 cy) of dredged sediment from the confined disposal facility in Cleveland. These documents will be issued this spring, with an anticipated bid opening in July.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are performing environmental assessments on the sediment prior to the bid to get a leg up on providing data for prospective bidders. We\u2019re also laying the groundwork for any environmental approvals that may be needed for proposed end uses,\u201d says Asquith. \u201cThese materials can be a dirt cheap option for projects located in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To contract with the U.S. federal government, a business must be <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sam.gov\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">registered<\/a>.
