“There is annual dredging that takes place in the Chesapeake Bay, millions of cubic yards behind the three hydroelectric power dams in the Susquehanna River that have right now over 200 million cubic yards of sediment that eventually within the next 15 years has to be removed, otherwise the U.S. geological survey said it would smother the entire Chesapeake Bay floor if something is not done. There are problems with the dredge material on an annual basis. There are problems with the dredge material behind the Susquehanna River damages. So if something could be worked out in the next few years to figure out where to put this stuff and if Ohio wants it, we would be more than glad to trade it out.”
