00:09.760 --> 00:13.250
So here's a dredging boat . It goes out

00:13.260 --> 00:16.579
to a designated spot in the ocean

00:16.809 --> 00:20.459
and it drops down these vacuums on the

00:20.469 --> 00:24.379
boat and then the boat , the dredging

00:24.389 --> 00:27.430
boat slowly moves across the water

00:27.569 --> 00:29.625
while these vacuums start sucking up

00:29.625 --> 00:33.250
sand and then it goes into hoppers in

00:33.259 --> 00:35.830
the boat . And there are several ways

00:35.840 --> 00:39.200
of how dispenses the sand . The first

00:39.209 --> 00:41.610
way is where they attach a bunch of

00:41.619 --> 00:43.950
metal poles all the way to the

00:43.959 --> 00:46.909
coastline of the beach and then it

00:46.919 --> 00:48.863
pumps it all the way through those

00:48.863 --> 00:51.030
pipes and then onto the beach . That's

00:51.030 --> 00:53.252
what you see in ST Augustine the most .

00:53.819 --> 00:57.459
The second way is a rainbow where it

00:57.470 --> 00:59.470
shoots it out through the bow , the

00:59.470 --> 01:02.279
front of the judging boat . And the

01:02.290 --> 01:05.480
third way is on the bottom of the boat .

01:05.489 --> 01:07.970
There's these doors that open up and

01:07.980 --> 01:11.669
then all the sand just dumps down into

01:11.680 --> 01:14.599
a Disney in the area . That's where all

01:14.610 --> 01:16.580
the dredging sand goes .

01:21.629 --> 01:23.573
Hi , I'm Ashley Fountain , project

01:23.573 --> 01:25.740
manager here with the US Army Corps of

01:25.740 --> 01:27.962
Engineers and Jacksonville District and

01:27.962 --> 01:30.018
co I just wanted to say thank you so

01:30.018 --> 01:31.796
much for your explanation about

01:31.796 --> 01:33.962
dredging and today , we will talk more

01:33.962 --> 01:36.185
about where all of this dr material can

01:36.185 --> 01:39.419
go . And I am at the Buck Island dredge

01:39.430 --> 01:41.486
Material Management area today where

01:41.486 --> 01:43.486
there's active offloading occurring

01:43.486 --> 01:45.652
right behind me . Dredge material that

01:45.652 --> 01:47.589
comes here to the island can be

01:47.599 --> 01:49.599
beneficially used for many purposes

01:49.599 --> 01:51.750
like road construction . One of the

01:51.760 --> 01:53.816
many uses for dredge material is for

01:53.816 --> 01:56.038
road construction right behind me . You

01:56.038 --> 01:58.149
have an excavator loading dump trucks

01:58.149 --> 02:00.204
that is taking the material for road

02:00.204 --> 02:02.204
construction here in Jacksonville ,

02:02.889 --> 02:05.250
here in the lot of beach Florida . We

02:05.260 --> 02:08.460
are on the dune and burn that was

02:08.470 --> 02:10.699
brought here from dredge material . And

02:10.710 --> 02:12.821
what we're doing here today is we are

02:12.821 --> 02:16.199
planting the dune with , see what the

02:16.210 --> 02:19.059
sea do is really , they create a deep

02:19.070 --> 02:21.110
root system that holds the dunes in

02:21.119 --> 02:23.330
place and creates resiliency here on

02:23.339 --> 02:26.740
our coastline . So to sum things up ,

02:26.750 --> 02:28.850
dredge material can be used for many

02:28.860 --> 02:31.550
purposes like re nourishing our beaches

02:31.559 --> 02:33.929
and restoring habitats and even road

02:33.940 --> 02:36.273
construction . Thanks for your question .

02:36.273 --> 02:36.190
Coa .
