As the state’s dredging coordinator, the CRMC worked with project manager The Nature Conservancy (TNC) in Rhode Island, as well as the City of Providence, R.I. Department of Transportation, 195 Commission, and Providence Foundation to remove approximately 22,000 cubic yards of material from bank to bank from the Amtrak bridge under the Providence Place Mall to the Crawford Street Bridge piers. The material was beneficially reused at a redevelopment site in the city, and the silty material was beneficially reused by TNC for marsh creation and elevation in the Seekonk River.
