The barge is 82-feet long with its cutter head, a giant drill that penetrates the sediment, pivoting back and forth to loosen it up so it can be sucked up through the pump and moved out of the lake. On June 9, the Poseidon began the three-year process of dredging the bottom of Cedar Lake in an effort to removed hundreds of thousands of cubic yards of sediment from the lake floor.
Now, more than three decades of efforts to divert polluted run-off from the lake has begun to pay off and the town has officially embarked on a generational dredging project that is expected to improve water quality and aquatic life of the lake and bodies of water downstream.
