This Draft EA addresses the emergency dredging of the western alternate route as well as long-term maintenance of the Manteo Shallowbag Bay (Oregon Inlet) Federal navigation project, following natural deep water.
The proposed long-term plan includes a large navigation corridor that encompasses areas both east and west of the Marc Basnight Bridge.
The corridor would extend west to include Old House Ranges 1 and 2, north near Island C and east through the official bridge navigation span and would include the ocean bar.
This proposed navigation corridor encompasses approximately 5,053 acres and would provide the greatest flexibility to maintain a safe, navigable channel in the very dynamic area of Oregon Inlet.
The deadline for sending comments on the proposed dredging of the Manteo Shallowbag Bay is November 2, 2023.
