The Milwaukee Estuary Area of Concern (AOC) Dredged Material Management Facility (DMMF) – Enabling $450M in Industrial Legacy Contaminated Sediment Cleanup

The Dredged Material Management Facility (DMMF) is a new structure along Lake Michigan that is planned for the storage of 1.9 million cubic yards of impacted sediments dredged from within the Milwaukee Estuary Area of Concern (AOC). The construction of the DMMF is the linchpin for the $450M cleanup effort. This presentation will focus on the background of the Area of Concern, design of the DMMF, and an introduction to the sediment cleanup efforts.
