White Lake Dock & Dredge, a division of ENTACT, undertook the mechanical dredging of more than 120,000 cubic yards of contaminated sediments from a remote reservoir within an active mining operation. The project addressed critical water quality issues stemming from uncontrolled reservoir sediment that posed a threat to the mining operations. This project was completed successfully despite the challenging conditions, ensuring the continued operational integrity of the mining site. Our team:

• Constructed access roadways to facilitate equipment mobilization in a mountainous environment
• Mobilized dredging equipment and resources to a remote site
• Dredged and transported sediments with grades upwards of 17%
• Managed unpredictable weather conditions, including regular flooding of the reservoir with overnight water elevation increases of up to 30 feet
• Disposed of all sediments within the active mining operation, optimizing space and minimizing water generation
