The $50,000/acre figure is industry standard for restoration of land within 5 miles of the river.
Check the link below. Lake Hermitage meets your parameters and it was over 115k/acre
Bucket dredge? Cutterhead? Inland? Offshore? River? How long are we transporting? Plus, have you looked at a bid tab or engineer's estimate for dredging lately? High as giraffe's ______. It is a gross generalization. From their own numbers, it is a lot higher

Well, I have developed 10 formal bids for dredging projects in the past 6 months. Yes, they are high but it still doesn’t change the fact that it takes anywhere from 5,000-6,000 cubic yards to restore an average acre of marsh.
