Dredging of the Ala Wai Canal is set to begin next week, the state Department of Land and Natural Resources said.

It’s been 18 years since the last dredging, and the DLNR said silt and sediments have piled up.

Crews will dig up to 12 feet below the surface.

All muck will be dumped at least twice a day at a site approved by the Environmental Protection Agency.
