The cutter head of the Dredge Goetz acts like a blender, mixing material on the Mississippi River-bed to create a slurry that is hydraulically pumped nearly a mile from the Dredge Goetz to the top of a temporary disposal site. The dredge – one of five dredging operations working on the Upper Mississippi River from St. Paul to Guttenberg, Iowa – will next move a few miles downstream as the district works to keep the navigation channel open for commercial tows, a high priority task given the amount of sediment moved into the channel due to spring flooding.
