Dredging removes extra muck and mud from bodies of water. The dredge uses a submersible pump that sucks up debris and a tube that transports the sediment from where it rests in the water to the surface. To properly dispose of the dredged material, you will need to follow any local, state, and federal laws and regulations.

The dredging operator will lower a rotating cutter head to loosen sediment and debris within a body of water, while a submersible pump sucks up the debris and transports it away for final processing.
