ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for reducing the cost and environmental impact of excavating and disposing of dredging spoils resulting from the construction and/or maintenance of waterways wherein the reaction of aerially jetting a slurry is used to at least assist in effecting movement of the dredge and the spoil falls as a spray at a distance from the dredge to form a relatively wide and thin dispersal usually laterally disposed to the dredged area.
