Charter’s Muddy River construction team has begun dredging sediment as part of the Phase 2 Flood Damage Reduction project. The crew is using an amphibious excavator to speed the dredging and to load sediment into off-road trucks. Wooden 3-ply laminate mats are being used for haul roads to minimize mud and prevent damage to underlying tree roots. Due to limited stockpile areas, the off-road trucks transport sediment to a central material handling area. From there, a stabilizer is added and mixed into the sediment with an excavator. The stabilized material is then loaded into trucks and transported off-site for disposal. Work at the site will continue into 2021.
