Federal dredging plan to be presented March 3
The federal government's 2011 plan for dredging the Toledo shipping channel and once again dumping most of the river sediment back into Lake Erie's Maumee Bay area will be discussed at 6:30 p.m. March 3 in Toledo City Council chambers. Toledo is by far the most heavily dredged port in the Great Lakes region; it also is the shallowest. The amount of silt dug up from the Maumee River and Lake Erie's Maumee Bay to accommodate large ocean-going ships and area lakers has cost the government $4 million a year lately.
