An underwater dredging system using a power-driven shovel. The shovel is manipulated to accumulate dredged solid material in the shovel bucket and the bucket is in communication with a pump suction conduit continuously removing the dredged material from the bucket. Screens and guards prevent oversized particles from entering the suction conduit, and predetermined relationships and configurations of the bucket and the suction conduit accommodate the movements of the pivotally mounted bucket.

A system for distributing a slurry of water and solids over a substantially large area wherein the solids may be distributed in a thin environmentally acceptable manner of uniform thickness or a land area or the bottom of a water area may be significantly raised in elevation. A plurality of aerial projectors in the form of nozzles mounted on vehicles distribute the slurry and the vehicle or vehicles move over the area in a predetermined manner and velocity to produce slurry distribution as desired.

A turbidity control system for dredging operations wherein turbidity adjacent the dredge head is controlled by one or more operating characteristics of the dredging operation. The dredge head includes water jets for agitating, slurrying, loosening the material being removed and directing the material toward the dredge head and control apparatus regulating the water flow into the dredge head, the direction of the jets, the rate of water removal from the head, and the rate of dredge head advancement is adjusted in accord with the turbidity to permit dredging operations within acceptable environmental limits. A turbidity sensor may be mounted adjacent the dredge head to sense the extent of turbidity existing, and the sensor may be used to automatically operate the control apparatus.

The invention relates to the broad subject of dewatering phosphate clay wastes and has for its primary object the drainage of existing phosphate slime settling ponds and the reclamation of the drained ponds through the use of the processed slime as a land fill having adequate drainage characteristics. Another object of the invention is to provide a processing step for phosphate slimes which will reduce the environmental impact of mining phosphate to an acceptable level.
