Is that area dredged?

A place they dump sand and shit that was dredged up.

I think it's where they dump the dredge. We have "spoil islands" here in the bay, where they empty the dredgers.

by **assateague** » Sun Feb 02, 2014 8:40 pm

Never mind.

Typically, it refers to an area that has been dredged.

The dredged material is referred to as spoils

The place they put dredged material. Sometimes it's a island, sometimes it's a submerged shoal.

It's an area that has been dredged and the spoils are what is pumped out.

At least around here you avoid contact with that shit. Will either eat you or make you glow.

Its the place where they dump dredge material, known as spoils.

And Olly says we don't give serious answers.

In your picture the spoils areas are from where they dredged the shipping channel in the St Mary's river

I believe you are correct... i was just wondering why the depth was shown everywhere but there.

probably varies but will most likely be pretty shallow.

I've been there before.

Its a deep, deep area where they dump the dead hookers and snitches who got more than stitches. The decaying bodies put off a horrible odor commonly compared to rotting or spoiled meat - earning the nickname 'spoil area'.

^^^^THIS^^^^^
It is a shallow area which eventually ends up being an island around here.

It's where Beef takes a shit in the water.

On land they are called Superfund sites.

by **waterfowlman** » Sun Feb 02, 2014 10:36 pm

The most common dredge used for maintaining narrow channels is what is called a side cast dredge. The material removed from the channel to maintain the controlling depth is discharged via high pressure pipes alongside the channel being maintained thus causing "spoils". Just assume a spoil is a shoal and you're good to go. After a lot of repeated dredging, the spoils will form small islands the tug and commercial captains call "cut banks"

It's also known as fantastic walleye fishing. I killed it in college in a place on that map!

by **RonE** » Sun Feb 02, 2014 11:35 pm

As stated, it is the area where they deposit the dredge tailing (the stuff they dug out of the bottom of the channel). The reason it is called a spoil area is because it is usually very shallow and if you try to run your boat across it, it will "Spoil" your day and fuck your boat up.

It a broad from jersey. You should do her. Aparently she sent to st Mary's school and digs silk. And she is always wet.

Do they give trophies for 1st through 9th place around here? I've never seen so many people repeat an answer that's already been given.
