SUMMARY:Webinar - Beneficial Use of Dredged Material: Can Soil Save Peoria Lake?
DESCRIPTION:Manufacturing custom soil blends from dredged sand in private-public partnerships has been demonstrated in St. Paul Minnesota where the MN Department of Transportation requires specified drainage and growth characteristics for roadside topsoil. The technology is transferable to other regions if the feedstock materials\, manufacturers\, and customers can be identified and matched in a local market. Successful soil markets can extend the life of Corps CDFs\, create economic opportunity\, and improve watershed hydrology and water quality with improved stormwater management. \nEvent website: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/webinar-beneficial-use-of-dredged-material-can-soil-sales-save-peoria-lake-registration-43132361053\nContact: Reilly Manz\nEmail: rmanz@glc.org\nPhone: 734-396-6073
