Environmental Restoration Dredging

Environmental Restoration Dredging

C&M Dredging has successfully performed various environmental restoration dredging projects for both public and private clients.

Unlike dredging for navigational improvement, environmental restoration dredging is typically performed with a single goal: improving the quality of a water body. This improvement is accomplished by dredging to reverse the negative impacts caused by:

  • accumulated decomposed silts, organics, and contaminants
  • deposited chemical constituents
  • reduction in oxygenated water and increased water temperatures
  • accumulation of nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus from decomposition and runoff

Many of these projects require comprehensive material management plans to effectively dredge, dewater, and dispose of large quantities of material.

C&M Dredging has extensive experience managing these projects from planning through disposal (or beneficial reuse) and closeout.
