The project is to conduct maintenance dredging of the Wiggins Pass navigation channel to continue to train the straighter alignment. Approximately 65,100 CY of beach compatible sand isto be dredged fromthe ebb, flood and tributarychannels above thedesign cut while unsuitable material is to be avoided or disposed of off site. Channel depth ranges from-7.0 ft. to -12.0 ft. NAVD with a 1’ overdredge allowance. Excavated compatible sand will be disposed of within two of the permitted areas onshore Barefoot Beach and onshore Delnor-Wiggins StatePark.
