Grassy Island in the Maumee River, Toledo, Ohio, is also known as Island 18. The island serves as the dump for all dredged material from the river. And it was there that a dike breached recently, spilling contaminated materials towards the river. A fabric containment fence has been installed around the island and the US Army Corps of Engineers is proceeding with cleanup and containment measures.
