Pump off of 60,000 cy in less than three weeks with 2-3 barge-loads of 1,700 cy each per operational day of 1.5-2.0 shifts.  By way of example, this operation at 3 shifts a day could achieve nearly double the production rate in a 24/7 if needed.  Adding a second pump-off rig would about double that doubled rate for 4x the rate.

The Kinder Morgan sediment is a fine-grained sediment that is readily ‘pumpable’.  Material with significant debris, sand, sticky (consolidated clay) or dry sediments have lower production rates and may need mechanical offloading (see Woodrow Wilson Bridge project where the initial 340,000 cy was offloaded in 2.5 months).

Trucked in lime-stabilized sediment from a large stormwater pond for a former power facility as an alternative to landfill disposal.  Material is being used as a pH-benefit to lower pH sediments and for textural improvement of other sediments to create optimal soil texture (balance of silt, and clay) and balanced pH (6.2-6.5) for vegetative growth.

Weanack Land incorporated an environmentally friendly approach to its land reclamation process, sourcing lime-stabilized sediment from a large stormwater pond previously serving a decommissioned power facility. Rather than directing this material to landfills, it is put to practical use on the land. This specific sediment offers numerous benefits to the existing soil composition at Weanack.

On two occasions, material from Pier 11 crossed the dock with to solidified by an alkaline binder for landfill disposal off site.  In 2012, the material did go to the landfill but in 2022, further testing after solidification indicated the contaminant, petroleum hydrocarbons, was greatly reduced.  Hydrocarbons were broken down in the reaction of the sediment to the binder, and no longer present in excess of clean fill standards, and disposal (and beneficial re-use) at Weanack was more cost efficient than at the landfill.
