GLIN==> Workshop series on beneficial use of dredged material

Workshops to promote beneficial use of dredged material in Great Lakes
region continue this week in Toledo

A workshop series to explore approaches to the beneficial use of material
dredged from Great Lakes commercial and recreational harbors and channels
will continue this week in the Toledo area. The fifth in the series will be
held at 10 a.m., Tuesday, April 12 at the Lake Erie Center in Oregon, OH,
near the port of Toledo. Some 3.3 million cubic yards of sediment is
deposited annually in Great Lakes harbors and channels maintained by the
federal government. "Recycling" material clean enough for beneficial use
avoids other, less sustainable methods of dredged material management such
as placement in confined disposal facilities. The sessions, facilitated by
the Great Lakes Commission and entitled "Beneficial Use Technology Transfer
Workshops," are designed to energize business communities, and educate
permittees and regulators about beneficial use technologies as well as
broaden understanding and interest in such beneficial use projects as
habitat restoration and brownfield restoration. Discussion will also be held
on overcoming challenges and obstacles to such projects.
Details on the Toledo area workshop are as follows:

10 a.m. Tuesday, April 12
Lake Erie Center
6200 Bayshore Road
Oregon, Ohio 43616

There is no cost for this workshop. Please indicate your plans to attend,
however,
by notifying Dave Knight, Great Lakes Commission, at: dknight at glc.org
