The highest cost for these projects is always in trucking the spoils offsite to
be disposed
of at the closest landfill.
Trucking costs can be between $325-$400 per truck, depending on the distance to
the dump
site, type of material, and fuel costs. If there is a way to keep the spoils on
site, you
can save considerable amounts of money on the project.
Oftentimes it is obvious that your pond is filling up with sediment due to
erosion upstream, naturally occurring run-off and decaying vegetation.
You may see your pond shrinking or islands forming near the inlets.
We recommend starting with a survey completed by one of our partners or us. We
can determine the average sediment accumulation throughout your pond.
These are bathymetric surveys that will provide a foundation for determining how
many cubic yards to remove in order to restore your aquatic environment back to
its original depth.
