1. An integrated apparatus for processing capping ingredients and delivering a capping composition on a subaqueous waterway bottom substrate comprising: a cylindrically elongated flow housing frame having a first and second ingredient feed port and a dewatered sand input chute; an axeless auger extending longitudinally through the frame with both ends affixed such that the auger is able to be rotated by a motor; wherein the auger simultaneously processes dry and semi-dry ingredients to form a blended capping composition and the composition is discharged through a discharge port to a blending screen under the port capable of further processing the composition prior to delivery to a metering hopper and conveyor belt sub-system; and a capping composition pool to deliver the composition through a water column such that it settles, creating a cap on the water bottom.
