Full Public Notice          Project Plans

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:  This Public Notice is for a re-issuance of an existing permit originally issued on July 19, 2011.  The applicant proposes a 10-year maintenance dredging plan of approximately 18,500 linear feet (3.5 miles) of the Packery Channel.  The dredging would be to a depth of -14 feet NAVD 88 (-13.5 feet MLLW) plus 2 feet allowable over depth within the outer reach of the 122-foot-wide channel section, and -7 feet NAVD 88 (-7.2 feet MLLW) plus 1 foot allowable over depth within the outer reach of the 80-foot-wide channel section.  No changes from the original Federal project dimensions are proposed.  Maintenance dredging would be conducted using hydraulic and/or mechanical methods from barges, and approximately 400,000 cubic yards of material will be dredged.  Suitable beach-quality sand from the dredging activities will be placed along the Gulf beach between Packery Channel and Viento Del Mar, approximately 7,600 feet in length and a total of 90 acres.  Nourishment of the beach would measure approximately 300 feet wide seaward of the existing seawall.  If a cutterhead dredge is used, the dredge material will be transported to the Gulf beach through a temporary pipeline.  If mechanical dredging is used, material will be placed in scows (barge vessels) and then the scows will be anchored offshore of the Gulf beach in deep water.  The location of the scows offshore of the Gulf beach is unknown at this time.  The material will then be transported from the scows onto the beach using a temporary pump-out station and pipeline.
