[QUOTE="HeadsUp, post: 15144, member: 414"] It might be because a fishexpertarian suggested that dredges might destroy fish spawn or sperm , whatever those little white floaties are. He could be right if it was occuring in fish breeding season but if that's the reason then why not say " no dredging in fish breeding season " I dont think dredges would damage the little snails or mosquito larvae would they ? guessing those would get spat straight back out the other end what other little ecosystems are there on the bottom of the average river ? turbidity might concern EPA folks but thats easily fixed by having the dredge discharging in to the sluice which is set up on the river bank so the sediment settles out and you would get 90 % clean water running back in to the river there are ways to clean it up if thats the concern whatever physical problem exists , there will be an engineering solution to it.
