Stones over 1 inch in diameter can cause premature wear and if constantly ingested may cause damage.

The result can be prematurely worn out internal components Large volumes of sand will increase wear.

Pump is NOT designed to remove hard packed clay.

Dredge pump designed for muck, sludge, mud and plant waste that can be easily removed from bottom.

To date, the following studies and reports are available. In an effort to evaluate the potential benefits of more direct public involvement in dredged material processing and placement, the US Army Corps of Engineers initiated a series of studies on the economics and feasibility of a public processing facility (PPF).
