     Restoration Dredging constructed a geobag containment area on an existing asphalt parking lot.  Once spoils were pumped into the interior, they were allowed to dry before being trucked offsite.

     Experienced equipment operators were able to remove the sediment and geobags without damaging the asphalt surface.

     Gravel and cobble were removed from the harbor by a barge-mounted excavator.  Dredging operations were completed entirely outside of the boating season without lost revenue to the harbor.
