Credit: 1 hours Section Title: Mud to Parks Field Exper Section Info: Beneficial Reuse of Sediment: The Mud to Parks Field Experience Class will meet in room 131 (Warner Conference Room) at the Illinois Sustainable Technology Center (1 Hazelwood Dr. in Champaign; see on map at http://illinois.edu/map/view?skinId=0&ACTION=MAP&buildingId=206). This one credit hour class will cover beneficial use of sediment eroded into lakes and rivers, with emphasis on use as topsoil. Students will visit restoration sites and dredging projects and observe the operation of dredging and construction equipment if it is operating during visits. The projects generally provide topsoil to distressed areas such as strip mines and old industrial sites. Removing sediment from water bodies in turn restores depth to aquatic habitat. There are tentatively four planned field trips. Students must be aware that some field trips will depart in the early Saturday morning and return in the evening. Dates of trips will be selected to maximize educational opportunities. A weekday event may be planned as an extra credit option, especially if equipment will be in use.
