Sansom added: “Nobody wants to build a home next to a sick waterway.” “What we have is an avalanche of muck,” said one of the event speakers, Jerry Sansom, who has long been active in Indian River matters. With dredging, Harrell said at that the public event, “the Eau Gallie River and Elbow Creek can be what God intended.”īut the Eau Gallie dredging, and its assembly-line-style disposal of muck, came together as the Indian River Lagoon was struck by a crisis of fish kills, manatee deaths and eruptions of harmful algae that made national news. The project resulted from a grassroots campaign started by Amy Harrell, who lives next to Elbow Creek, that spurred state support. It’s not nearly the first or even the biggest effort to get rid of Indian River muck. More than 600,000 cubic yards of muck - a dump truck holds about 20 cubic yards - are targeted for removal from the Eau Gallie River by the end of next year. The dredge is anchored in Elbow Creek, which meets the Eau Gallie River near the Indian River in the city of Melbourne. The industrialized approach has yet to prove itself, but governments officials are betting $24 million in mostly state money it will succeed and be used again in other dredging efforts.

The ponds were built at an average depth of 8 ? 10 feet, and now due to the buildup of muck have an average depth of around three (3) feet.
Both ponds were built by ODFW around thirty (30) years ago and have since been filling up with muck. This project will be for the dredging of two ponds in the John Day Oregon area.
