The purpose of the proposed action is to transfer up to 500,000 cubic yards of dredged material from the Island and transfer the material to a readily available commercial site (e.g., aggregate site, gravel pit) or utilize the material for beneficial use (construction fill, landfill cover, agricultural uses).
The dredged material unloading project at Corps Island is anticipated to happen during the 2026 and 2027 construction seasons.
A final determination on the draft EA will be made following the public review period. The deadline for sending comments on the proposed action is October 14, 2025.
