Project Background
Maumee Bay / Toledo Harbor dredging: Annual volume: ~640,000 yd3 (2004-08)
– ~70% to open lake disposal
Annual cost: ~$5 million Major sediment “sources”:
Maumee River Wind-wave resuspension
Need for linked watershed-receiving water model to support comprehensive system management planning: Sediment management Nearshore water quality management (GLRI) Navigation Coastal erosion Flood control

Project Objectives
Quantitatively connect external (tributary/ watershed NPS, point sources) and internal (sediment resuspension and porewater flux) pollutant sources to lake ecological endpoints: Sediment sedimentation and turbidity Nutrients nuisance & harmful algal blooms
Support USACE management decisions: Minimize need for dredging and impact Beneficial reuse Habitat enhancement (shoal areas)
Synthesize monitoring/modeling data and advance our understanding of the system (WLEB Partnership)
