Full Public Notice    Project Plans

The applicant seeks an after-the-fact permit to retain impacts to waters of the United States associated with the expansion of a barge storage, maintenance, and repair facility.  The applicant dredged approximately 2,716,260 cubic feet of material from uplands in three areas, extending the high tide line and resulting in the creation of approximately 6 acres of open water.  Approximately 7,770 cubic feet of the dredged material was placed into wetlands, and approximately 54,000 cubic feet was placed into open water areas.  The applicant also constructed approximately 856 linear feet of steel bulkhead, and placed approximately 8,220 cubic feet of rip rap below the high tide line, for bank stabilization and         erosion protection.  The applicant also installed approximately 1,682 linear feet of pipe piling mooring structures within the project area.  The applicant desires to establish a fleet area adjacent to a segment of the pipe piling mooring structures.  The fleet area would be located along the GIWW in the northeast portion of the project site, and would be 1,100-foot-long by 200-foot-wide.

The applicant also seeks authorization for proposed future activities.  The applicant proposes to install an additional 486 linear feet of pipe piling mooring structures and also proposes future maintenance dredging activities.  Maintenance material would be placed into an excavated upland area, contained by a perimeter berm, for dewatering.  When the maintenance material has sufficiently dried, it would be transferred to an adjacent upland placement area.
