Site work for a water / sewer project in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Working plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

PROPOSED WORK: The proposed work consists of performing maintenance dredging of the entrance channel to the Windmill Harbour Marina. The Windmill Harbour Marina is a lock-harbor facility with an entrance channel that is approximately 60 x 350. Since the lock/harbors construction in 1985, dredging has not been required within the entrance channel. In detail, the applicant is requesting authorization for a ten-year maintenance dredging permit to mechanically dredge the channel to a depth of -8.0 feet MLW with an allowable 1 overdepth. The approximate dimensions of the proposed dredge area are 40 x 350. The anticipated volume of material to be dredged is approximately 2,400 cubic yards for the initial dredge event. Anticipated dredge volumes for future dredge events are unknown, however, the applicant anticipates future events would not exceed 1,500 cubic yards of material to be dredged. The material will be dredged mechanically with placement into a small scow or onto a specially designed barge with containers to hold the dredged material. The scow/ barge will then be transported to the nearby C.C. Haigh, Jr. boat landing, which is approximately one mile from the marina. At the boat landing, the sediment will be offloaded into dump trucks that will then dispose of the dredged material at a private upland pit owned by Cleland Site Prep, Inc (Latitude: 32.2272 , Longitude: -80.9553 ). As of July 22 2020, this project is with the city for permit review. Information regarding the selection of a general contractor and construction timeline has not been confirmed, but construction isn't expected to occur until Winter 2021-2022.
