Maintenance Dredging at Milwaukee Harbor, Wisconsin
Maintenance dredging is to be performed at the Milwaukee Navigation Project periodically during the future. It is anticipated that 100,000 cubic yards of spoils will be removed annually. The disposal of 10 years dredge spoils from the navigation project will take place within the dike containment structure located in the south outer harbor. Environmental impacts: Disruption of benthic community residing on or in the sediments to be dredged; the creation of minor turbidity plumes during the dredging operation; the potential reintroduction of toxic and nutritive substances into the local waters; maintenance of an economically valuable port facility; disruption and destruction of the benthos by the dredging operations; the creation of the temporary turbidity; and the redistribution of toxic and nutritive substances.
