With the completion of the Muscatine Marina Confined Disposal Facility (CDF) Relocation Project, the City of Muscatine has resumed dredging operations at the Muscatine Municipal Harbor, clearing accumulated Mississippi River sediment and restoring safe navigational depths for boaters throughout the summer season.
The dredging effort, managed by the City’s Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP), marks a significant operational milestone: for the first time, dredged spoils will be directed to a newly constructed, purpose-built confined disposal facility rather than the aging geo-synthetic bag system previously used at the former Hawkeye Lumber property along the riverfront.
