Dredging

I went over to the 4th Street basin to see the dredging.  This work is to allow access for the bigger EPA equipment to start the main removal of toxic sediment.  An engineer on site told me that this initial work will likely continue through next week, and then bulkheads will be repaired and reinforced.  The work at this section of the canal will act as a pilot study for the rest of the Superfund clean-up.  For more on the work, read here.

I could watch this kind of thing all day.
