Full Public Notice          Project Plans

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:  The applicant proposes to perform hydraulic dredging to restore and maintain the mouth of the San Bernard River.  Approximately 400,000 cubic yards of material would be dredged within approximately 9,600 linear feet of the waterway to a depth of -10 Mean Low Tide.  The channel bottom would be 100 feet in width.  The total proposed dredging footprint is 28.51 acres.  Suitable sand material would be discharged into the surf zone for down shore beach nourishment.  Material not suitable for beach nourishment would be transported inland and properly disposed of at an upland site or approved landfill; the location of the upland disposal site is to be determined at a later date.  The applicant also proposes future maintenance dredging in order to keep the mouth of the San Bernard River open to the Gulf of Mexico.
