Fredonia Reservoir Maintenance Dredging:

To recover active storage volume lost to sedimentation the Village of Fredonia is performing maintenance dredging at their water supply reservoir. Approximately 4,400 cubic yards of material is being removed annually over a ten years period, recovering between 4 and 6 million gallons of active storage. Staff at Tolman Engineering completed the permitting and dredging plan for the project.

Vukote Canals Dredging:

To regain depth for recreational boat access in Vukote Canals, the Town of Busti completed a dredging project to remove approximately 12,000 cubic yards of sediment. The sediments were removed with the use of a hydraulic dredge and dewatered with the use of a sedimentation basin. The dewater sediments were then used as fill in the adjacent Vukote Park. Staff at Tolman Engineering completed the permitting, dredging plan, design drawings, and contract documents for the dredging project. After the dredging project was finished, staff at Tolman Engineering also permitted and formed a plan for maintenance dredging in Vukote Canals.

Cattaraugus Inlet Maintenance Dredging:

Sediment was removed from approximately 2,000 feet of channel between the Town of Hanover boat launch and the Cattaraugus Creek Inlet to facilitate recreational boat traffic. The dredging process removed approximately 9,000 cubic yards of sediment and created a channel that was approximately 30 feet wide by 6 feet deep. The sediment removed was placed in a sedimentation basin and dewatered with the use of a dewatering screw. Staff at Tolman Engineering completed the permitting, dredging plan, and design drawings for the dredging project.

Crescent Creek Dredging:

A mechanical dredging process was used by the Village of Lakewood to remove sediments accumulated at the mouth of Crescent Creek and regain boat access. The sediments were removed during low water levels to minimize the impact to the environment. The permitting and dredging plan was completed by staff at Tolman Engineering.
