Washington, D.C. A House subcommittee hearing on innovation and investment in water resources infrastructure turned into a course on the importance of annual dredging at the nation’s ports and what to do with the mountains of material produced by that activity.
Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio), the chairwoman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development, and Related Agencies, did not hold back in venting her frustration over the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ explanation on why dredged material cannot be turned into a useful byproduct.
“I have worked for four decades to try to get the Corps to find alternate uses for the enormous amount of dredging material that is picked up from the ports across this country,” she said.
