GLIN==> FW: Dredging Crisis Kicks Limestone When It's Down

It wasn't bad enough that the economy slashed June limestone loadings on
the Great Lakes by more than 30 percent, but even a record cargo
illustrated how the dredging crisis continues to sap the industry.  A
load of 35,457 tons was about 1,500 tons shy of what the vessel could
carry if the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers maintained Great Lakes ports
and waterways to project dimensions.  See attached for more details.
