The contractor is required to remove approximately 80,000 cubic yards of material from the channel with material being placed in Placement Area 8 (located across the channel from the port facilities).
“ This work is a contract option to our federal contract and paid for by the Port of Port Arthur and allows them to address critical shoal areas within the port facility ,” said Paula Rankin Wise, an operations manager with the USACE Galveston District’s Navigation Branch.
According to Wise, work will begin around Nov. 22 and take approximately 22 days for completion.
