Maybe it could be dredged and the sediment be hauled back to Pennsylvania, where most of it came from, to be spread on lands throughout the watershed there or used to fill in abandoned quarries throughout the area. How is sediment behind the Hoover dam dealt with? Maybe we don't have to reinvent the wheel here. I am sure the scientists, engineers, and government officials involved with the original environmental impact study had created a strategic plan for dealing with the inevitable sediment issues. Right? Hopefully, the same three genre of professions who have overseen the operation for a hundred years aren't involved in trying to fix the problem. That would be like expecting politicians to fix our governments problems. Didn't Mr. Einstein have an insanity theory we can apply here?
