Harbors in Lorain and other nearby lake cities will be dredged over the next few months.
The Lorain Harbor disposal facility, built in 1977, covers 58 acres and has been filled to its capacity of 1,850,000 cubic yards of dredged material. The city and Army Corps of Engineers added an extra wall of earth to hold in this season’s haul. “It is a stopgap until we develop another site for dredge material in the future,” said Novak.
Once a new site is found, the current facility will be converted into a mixed-use area with open space as well as waterfront retail, commercial buildings, and residences.
This year’s dredging is expected to be completed in mid-August.
