The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers hopper dredge vessel, Essayons, essential to the Corps' fleet, can hold up to 6,423 cubic yards of sediment and sand in its hopper. Are you finding it hard to imagine how much space that is? One cubic yard is about the size of a washing machine. That's six thousand four hundred and twenty-three washing machines fitting in there, or all the washing machines in Sherwood, Ore.! Oh gosh, that's a lot of dirty clothes being left to stink—better stick to dredging sand and sediment, Essayons.
