Maintenance Dredging of the Long Island Intracoastal Waterway Federal Navigation Project at Moriches Bay

Perform maintenance dredging of the Long Island Intracoastal Waterway (LIIW) Federal Navigation Project at Moriches Bay. The proposed maintenance dredging would remove approximately 100,000 cubic yards (CY) of sand with placement along the shoreline of Cupsogue Beach County Park, subject to availability of funds. The placement area is approximately 1.5 miles from the dredging area. Dredging would be required to a depth of -6 feet Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) plus 2 feet allowable overdepth. The proposed work is anticipated to be performed by utilizing a hydraulic dredge. Additionally, barges, tug boats, pipeline and land based equipment such as dozers, will be needed to perform the work during the dredging and placement activities. The dredging and placement along the shoreline would be required to meet all federal, state, and approved local criteria required by the government agencies having jurisdiction where the dredging and placement sites are located.
