A process and machine for receiving and processing to a transportable and usable condition, water soaked waste dredge removed from watery bodies. The process includes the steps of separating oversize material from the watery bulk waste, grinding organic oversize material to pulp, adding the pulp to the watery bulk, adding stabilizers to the bulk, conveying the aggregate to a transporting vehicle and performing the mixing process within the vehicle. The process further includes transporting the mixture to a point of use, spreading the mixture, spreading a pozzolanic binder on the mixture and mixing the binder with the mixture in situ.

[ I claim:] [1.]1. A process for treating dredge detritus material from a source comprising the steps of:establishing a limiting particle dimension,causing some detritus material from the source to pass through a first size separating process, whereby detritus material having a particle dimension larger than the limit, being a first larger sized particle portion, is separated from the detritus material having a particle dimension smaller than the limit, being a first smaller sized particle portion,grinding the first larger sized particle portion to produce a first intermediate product including a portion having some particle dimensions smaller than the limit, being a second smaller sized particle portion, and a portion having particle dimensions larger than the limit, being a second larger sized particle portion,causing the first intermediate product to flow through a second size separating process, thereby separating the smaller sized particle portion of the intermediate product, being a second smaller sized particle portion, from the larger sized particle portion of the intermediate product, being the second larger sized particle portion,adding the second smaller sized particle portion of the intermediate product to the first smaller sized particle portion,adding a stabilizer ingredient to said first and second smaller sized particle portions,further providing that said stabilizer ingredient is selected from the group consisting of fly ash, ash residue, ash residue from a coal burning furnace and cement,mixing together the first smaller sized particle portion, the second smaller sized particle portion and the stabilizer, thereby forming a first mixture,combining the second larger sized particle portion with the dredge detritus source material,and further providing that the mixing process includes the step of placing the substantially unmixed materials within a railway car having an interior width, positioning the railway car between two platforms, providing a wheeled mixing machine having a machine body having a leading end and a trailing end, said machine body having a width less than the interior width of the railway car, the body comprising a mixing drum and power source, the body being moveable on wheels positioned on the platforms, the mixing machine being provided with means for lowering the body into the interior of the railway car, whereby the contents are mixed, and raising the body above the railway car, thereby allowing the railway car to be removed from under the machine.
