I was watching a trout unlimited video of material being added to a waterway by tractor. They call it restoration. With dredging, a dredge sucks material from the source, and puts it back minus the heavy materials, gold, mercury, lead other valuables or junk. I would call that restoring the waterways, wouldn't you? We need to add the word "restoration" to the dredging debate.

This is a pic of the first restoration project on Clear Creek done by me for FREE. 500 cubic yards increased the salmon reds by over 1000 %. Now the idjets haul in gravels,tear up the riparian habitat and build roads to accimplish the very same thing...ooops AND they put the oversized gravels in the absolute worst spot as right before a 30+ foot massive hole where NO salmon can ever spawn hahaha biological genocide sic sic sic-John
