Dredging of the Ohio harbors to continue in 2021 May 10, 2021, posted by Zlatan Hrvacevic
Operation, maintenance and dredging of Ohio harbors by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is critical to the economy of Ohio, the Great Lakes region, and the United States.
Over 35 million tons of commodities such as iron ore, grain, coal, sand, stone, potash, and salt pass through Ohio’s eight commercial harbors on an annual basis.
Without dredging, these harbors would naturally fill with sediment and bulk commodities would have to be moved via rail or truck, resulting in significant impacts to jobs, business revenue and the environment.
