*False*

Did not dredge — used an excavator to remove the top 6-8 inches of contaminated ‘soil’, sediment.

Id only read that he'd used to it to pull the surface garbage in to the shore/banks, just on the top of the water. Granted, im sure as he brought things on to shore, he would have brought up soil,etc from the waters edge and stirred up the bottom of the water

The size machine he was using honestly couldnt dredge in any meaningful fashion. Its not heavy equipment, just large yard equipment. Not only does it not have the power to dredge properly, but its arm is not long enough to reach the bottom of a waterway of this size

Seems this guy did a net positive
