Sediment deposits that have accumulated along the bottom of Lake Ontario since it was last dredged in 2004 will be removed beginning Monday.
New York state Sen. Chuck Schumer announced Friday that the Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) will start the dredging process at the Port of Oswego Authority to remove the excess sediment which has dangerously constricted access to waterways used by ships to deliver cargo.
…The port of Oswego is the only deep-water port on the U.S. side of Lake Ontario and maintaining correct channel depths is critical to its continued operations as such.
