An apparatus, system and method for removing and treating contaminated materials on a bottom of a body of water and introducing growth packets to revitalize the treated bottom of the body of water. The structure may comprise a vessel with an open face. The vessel may be lowered down to the bottom of the body of water with the face facing down. As a result, the vessel and the bottom form an isolated space. The structure may comprise at least one agitating device(s) for stirring up the materials inside the vessel so as to form a mixture containing the sediment materials which in turn contain the contaminants. Multiple at least one pipe(s) may be coupled to the vessel for transporting the mixture out of the vessel for processing (filtering, treating with chemicals, etc.) so as to neutralize or eliminate the contaminants in the mixture. Then, the treated mixture can be returned to the inside of the vessel via the at least one pipe(s).

I claim: 1. An apparatus, comprising: a vessel including an opening, wherein when the opening is facing a bottom of a body of water and the vessel is in direct physical contact with the bottom of the body of water, the vessel has been configured to contain and suspend materials inside the vessel, wherein contaminated materials from the contained and suspended materials inside the vessel are essentially quantitatively removed or essentially quantitatively converted to non-toxic or harmless chemical derivatives, wherein the vessel comprises an agitating device being configured to suspend the suspended materials and being selected from the group consisting of a paddle, an auger, a spray head, a whip, a prop, and a fluid distribution device; a first pipe coupled to the vessel and configured to transport the contained and suspended materials from an interior of the vessel to an exterior of the vessel, wherein the first pipe includes an attachment selected from the group consisting of a filtering system and a drill head or auger. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, comprising a clean holding site for holding the filtrate transported from the interior of the vessel via the filtering system. 3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the materials in the clean holding site undergo further processing and treatment. 4. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the treatment includes removal of toxic chemicals or elements by chemical treatments using additives, reducers, catalysts, microbes, stabilizers, adhesives, charged particles, gases or elements. 5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the treatment converts toxic or harmful contaminants into carbon dioxide, water or HCl. 6. An apparatus, comprising: a vessel including an opening, wherein when the opening is facing a bottom of a body of water and the vessel is in direct physical contact with the bottom of the body of water, the vessel has been configured to contain and suspend materials inside the vessel, wherein contaminated materials from the contained and suspended materials inside the vessel are essentially quantitatively removed or essentially quantitatively converted to non-toxic or harmless chemical derivatives; a first pipe coupled to the vessel and configured to transport the contained and suspended materials from an interior of the vessel to an exterior of the vessel, wherein the first pipe includes an attachment selected from the group consisting of a filtering system and a drill head or auger; and an observing device coupled to the vessel, the observing device being configured to observe the interior of the vessel. 7. The apparatus of claim 6, comprising a clean holding site for holding the filtrate transported from the interior of the vessel via the filtering system. 8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the materials in the clean holding site undergo further processing and treatment. 9. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the treatment includes removal of toxic chemicals or elements by chemical treatments using additives, reducers, catalysts, microbes, stabilizers, adhesives, charged particles, gases or elements. 10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the treatment converts toxic or harmful contaminants into carbon dioxide, water or HCl. 11. An apparatus, comprising: a vessel including an opening, wherein when the opening is facing a bottom of a body of water and the vessel is in direct physical contact with the bottom of the body of water, the vessel has been configured to contain and suspend materials inside the vessel, wherein contaminated materials from the contained and suspended materials inside the vessel are essentially quantitatively removed or essentially quantitatively converted to non-toxic or harmless chemical derivatives; a first pipe coupled to the vessel and configured to transport the contained and suspended materials from an interior of the vessel to an exterior of the vessel, wherein the first pipe includes an attachment selected from the group consisting of a filter and a drill head or auger; and a pump coupled to the vessel, the pump being configured to reduce the pressure of the interior of the vessel so as to releasably seal the vessel onto the bottom of the body of water. 12. An apparatus, comprising: a vessel including an opening, wherein when the opening is facing a bottom of a body of water and the vessel is in direct physical contact with the bottom of the body of water, the vessel has been configured to contain and suspend materials inside the vessel, wherein contaminated materials from the contained and suspended materials inside the vessel are essentially quantitatively removed or essentially quantitatively converted to non-toxic or harmless chemical derivatives; a first pipe coupled to the vessel and configured to transport the contained and suspended materials from an interior of the vessel to an exterior of the vessel, wherein the first pipe includes an attachment selected from the group consisting of a filter and a drill head or auger; and a sample site coupled to the vessel, the sample site being configured to receive samples of the materials from the first pipe for testing. 13. An apparatus, comprising: a vessel including an opening, wherein when the opening is facing a bottom of a body of water and the vessel is in direct physical contact with the bottom of the body of water, the vessel has been configured to contain and suspend materials inside the vessel, wherein contaminated materials from the contained and suspended materials inside the vessel are essentially quantitatively removed or essentially quantitatively converted to non-toxic or harmless chemical derivatives; a first pipe coupled to the vessel and configured to transport the contained and suspended materials from an interior of the vessel to an exterior of the vessel, wherein the first pipe includes an attachment selected from the group consisting of a filtering system and a drill head or auger; and a clean holding site for holding the filtrate transported from the interior of the vessel via the filtering system. 14. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the materials in the clean holding site undergo further processing and treatment. 15. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the treatment includes removal of toxic chemicals or elements by chemical treatments using additives, reducers, catalysts, microbes, stabilizers, adhesives, charged particles, gases or elements. 16. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the treatment converts toxic or harmful contaminants into carbon dioxide, water or HCl. 17. A method comprising: providing a vessel including an opening, wherein when the opening is facing a bottom of a body of water and the vessel is in direct physical contact with the bottom of the body of water, the vessel has been configured to contain and suspend materials inside the vessel, wherein contaminated materials from the contained and suspended materials inside the vessel are essentially quantitatively removed or essentially quantitatively converted to non-toxic or harmless chemical derivatives; providing a first pipe coupled to the vessel and configured to transport the contained and suspended materials from an interior of the vessel to an exterior of the vessel, wherein the first pipe includes an attachment selected from the group consisting of a filtering system and a drill head or auger; and providing a clean holding site for holding the filtrate transported from the interior of the vessel via the filtering system.
