  - "that amount of money" oh, hah. That's less than a nice house around here. -- nm - Bery Delecto Oct 23, 18:19 1
    - oops, I forgot to convert it to american $$$ -- nm - Peglegpete Oct 23, 18:24
  - I think there's a good chance that dredging wouldn't be allowed because it would damage the environment further. -- nm - Bery Delecto Oct 23, 18:18 2
    - Also, good chance that it's bedrock, not dirt. -- nm - Bery Delecto Oct 23, 18:18 1
