HOLLAND (WTHC-AM/FM) Zeeland-based U.S. Rep. Bill Huizenga, co-chair of the U.S. House Great Lakes Task Force, emailed a statement responding to the EPA’s news of the completion of a $6.6 million Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) Project in Muskegon and a $2.9 million project on the Detroit Riverwalk.
The Ryerson Creek Outfall is a 12-acre site along Muskegon Lake’s shoreline that has been contaminated with petroleum, metals, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. This GLRI funded project dredged 10,600 cubic yards of contaminated sediment, removing more than 2,000 tons of mill debris, and covered a two-acre area with clean sand.
