A Seat at the Table
The Great Lakes Legacy Act accelerates the pace of cleaning up contaminated sediment in Areas of Concern. Many opportunities to clean up and restore valuable shoreline properties across the basin remain. With support from Great Lakes Restoration initiative funds matched with funding from industries, states, municipalities, and other nonfederal partners, communities can achieve the full economic potential of their waterfronts.

"Tyco Corporation was involved in a dredging project at the Menominee River.
Under an administrative consent order, we were required to dredge to a certain level. By using the Great Lakes Legacy Act, we went further.
We dredged an additional couple hundred thousand yards of sediment out of the river... EPA worked with us as a business partner...
It gave me a new respect for some of the agencies."
- Joe Janeczek, Tyco Inc.
