This former gravel pit is now a nice trout fishing pond with camping nearby. Decreasing concentrations with increasing tropic level were observed for Pb and Mn, but no consistent pattern was noted with Zn. Featherville Dredge Pond in Elmore County is 1.8 acres. Thus, dredge-spoil containing heavy metals, even though disposed of in specially designed diked containment areas, may act as a source of certain heavy metals that are potentially toxic to the biota.ĭata on the transfer of Pb and Mn in simple foodchains of the dredge-spoil pond ecosystem are presented and discussed in relation to feeding behaviour. Mn content in Grass Shrimp from ponds in dredge-spoil disposal areas was significantly higher (0.05 confidence level) than in those from the natural marsh. Vegetation and silt rob the once proud pond of productivity. I was thinking about getting an excavator in with an extended arm to go around the pond to remove some of the material to make it deeper. Cattails have established themselves around most of the perimeter and one side it is quite shallow. Zn concentrations were significantly higher at this confidence level in the three plant species growing in dredge-spoil compared with those from the natural marsh. The reservoir gradually loses important water capacity. The pond is silting up on the one side by the feeder brook. It is important to first remember that most lakes, canals, ponds and waterways in.
Pb levels in the Grass Shrimp ( Palaemonetes pugio), Mummichog ( Fundulus heteroclitus), Common Reed ( Phragmites communis), Saltmarsh Cordgrass ( Spartina alterniflora), and Saltmeadow Hay ( Spartina patens), from dredge-spoil areas, were significantly higher at the 0.01 confidence level than in these species from the natural salt-marsh. Dredging Lakes, Ponds and Waterways in Florida. This small pontoon dredge is ideal for home association lakes, marinas, golf courses, ponds, lagoons, and a variety of other.
Equipped with a 6-inch hydraulic submersible pump and an extra-wide cutter head, the Sediment Slayer can access areas heavy equipment cannot reach. Finegrained dredge-spoil had considerabily higher levels of all three metals than did natural salt-marsh sediment, and large differences in the metals content of the spoil were observed, depending on sediment type. The Sediment Slayer Pond Dredge is compact, easy to operate, and safe. Pb, Zn, and Mn, levels in sediment and common estuarine plants and animals colonizing dredge-spoil disposal areas were compared with levels occurring in the same materials from a natural salt-marsh. Suction Dredging is a method of removing sediment and muck from ponds, lakes, and other areas with underwater buildup. Hydraulic dredges are the workhorse of the lake dredging industry and are effective in moving large volumes of organic and inorganic sediments.
