dc.description.abstractWhen the US Army Corps of Engineers began designing navigation improvements for the Houston Ship Channel nearly a decade ago, the agency faced at least two monumental tasks: what to do with over 300 million cu yd of spoil and how to satisfy the myriad environmental concerns generated by the massive dredging and excavation. Fortunately for the parties involved, solutions for the two problems overlapped, as excess dirt from the $500-million project is now being used to create an unprecedented expanse of wildlife habitat.en_US
