Abstract
An apparatus for removing a layer of sediment which has settled on the bottom of a large water body that includes a structural frame configured to contain a bottom water flow and avoid a re-suspension of sediment outside the vicinity of the structural frame. The structural frame has a control zone configured for containing liquid and suspended particles dispersed during removal of bottom sediment in a suctioning area that is at least about 3 square feet. A sediment removing vacuum unit is operably associated with the structural frame to conduct a suctioned bottom water flow.
