Swan Lake Marsh Restoration

Summary

The project will create marsh restoration cells with up to 200,000 cubic yards of beneficial use dredge material. The dredge material will be hydraulically pumped with inline booster pumps from a nearby source into the habitat restoration cells in Swan Lake. The material will be placed at an elevation suitable to support marsh planting. The material will be allowed to dewater and will be sculpted, shaped, and channelized as needed.
