![]() ![]() Dewatered sediment was characterized and beneficially reused in a mine reclamation project.Filtered return water was pumped to the lake for discharge, meeting specified water quality limits established by the Maryland Dept.The 40,000 yd 3 of dredged material was pumped 4,000 feet to an upland processing area where it was dewatered using a combination of hydrocyclone separators and geotextile tubes.The firm dredged and pumped ~8,000 yd 3 of material into geotextile tubes to create ~1.28 acres of wetland habitat within the lake and ~.4 acres of upland peninsula to reshape the lake.C ASHMAN dredged ~48,000 yd 3 of sand, silt, and stone from the lake to a specified depth using a hydraulic dredge as a part of an overall environmental restoration.After the pond was initially cleared of all debris, C ASHMAN used a variety of dewatering techniques prior to sending dredged material to be used in landfill closure and mine reclamation projects. ![]() ![]() The Columbia Association chose C ASHMAN for its proven skills in dewatering and its ability to tackle some of the toughest dredging projects. This dredging effort focused on restoring the lake to the original depths, reinforcing the banks, and creating two new peninsulas to enhance water flow. As sediment built up over the years since the lake's creation, the depth of the lake had become reduced. In the fall of 2010, C ASHMAN began this 60,000-yd 3 pond dredging and dewatering project, completing it in November 2011. ![]() The lake served a dual purpose as a recreational feature and a low-cost primary catch basin for water runoff from Wilde Lake into the Little Patuxent River. Lake Kittamaqundi is a man-made 27-acre reservoir created in 1966 during the development of the Columbia Housing complex in Maryland. ![]()
