  VerPlank spokesman Joe Burns said the final outcome is high-quality topsoil.
  
  Burns said his firm needs leaves to mix with dredged river soil to make a viable and eco-friendly compost material.
  
  Municipalities joining the partnership will pay $2,200 each year to defer costs of a leaf shredding machine, according to Burns. The Grand Haven Board of Light & Power and several other businesses are also contributing to the $50,000 costs in machinery needed to mulch the leaves, twigs and grass clippings into suitable compost.
  
  Dredging has been a difficult process in the past, according to Burns, because of the lack of space to deposit the dredged material. He's confident the new technology — mixing dredging with leaves — is a solid recycling project.

  City may relocate Fisherman's Landing - [Cached Version]
  Published on: 9/19/2001    Last Visited: 9/20/2001  

  In weighing those proposals , commissioners also may consider the words of Joseph Burns , president of Verplank Dock Co. , which has an aggregate storage site across an inlet from Fisherman's Landing.
  
  He told the commission that he has agreed to sell about 12 acres of land to the developers of the SmartZone on the former Teledyne property to allow that development to expand to accommodate its proposed office , commercial and residential uses.
  
  But that wouldn't make sense , he said , if the Fisherman's Landing site was filled with piles of stored salt , rock and similar materials in plain of the new downtown development.
  
  Left where it is , Burns said , Fisherman's Landing would make a good buffer between the SmartZone development and the port-type uses envisioned by the city's lakefront plan.
  
  His company has purchased 53 acres of lakefront property from Consumers Energy Corp. between Fisherman's Landing and the B.C. Cobb generating plant , to be used for future aggregate storage.
