The Post-Florence Renourishment project sponsors (Carteret County and Emerald Isle), Engineers (Moffatt & Nichol), dredging contractor (Great Lakes Dredge & Dock), and State and federal resource agencies had their first weekly meeting yesterday for the Phase III Project.

According to the officials, the water-based equipment (submerged lines, tugs, ancillary vessels, etc.) should begin arriving later this week and the land-based pipe, office shacks, and “yellow steel” (bulldozers, front-end loaders, etc.) are scheduled to begin to be delivered to the site via flatbed trucks late next week.
