THE FOLLOWING IS ONLY AN EXAMPLE ESTIMATE FOR AN EXAMPLE BODY OF WATER

COST ESTIMATES — Calculated in 2011. 
This cost estimate exercise was done for the Gowanus Canal, Brooklyn, NY. 

The example given here is only to give a possible estimate if bokashi mudballs, as well as, if Activated EM (AEM) were also included in the calculations. The calculations below are for a bokashi mudball version without bokashi bran and without the additional 5% blackstrap molasses to the amount of AEM.

bokashi mudball (also, EM mudballs, beneficial mudballs, genki balls, EM dango): a solid fermented matter (a bokashi ferment) the size of a baseball, made with dirt (or any soil-like material such as clay soil), Activated EM, blackstrap molasses, and bokashi bran. Other ingredients may also be used (such as EM ceramics). While the mudballs are let to ferment in open air (where airflow is recommended to prevent, minimize mold buildup on the mudballs), the outside will quickly dry forming a hard shell leaving the inside to ferment anaerobically.
