Dredge Fill to Cut Charleston Port Expansion Costs
Construction of the new Navy Base Terminal in Charleston will cost less
and have fewer environmental impacts under a plan that has been approved
by the U.S. Department of the Interior.
The agency will approve a no cost, non-competitive lease, allowing the
South Carolina State Ports Authority (SCSPA) to bring in fill material
from an ocean dredge disposal site for construction of the new Navy Base
Terminal.
Using the material from the Ocean Dredged Material Disposal Site (ODMDS),
seven miles from the entrance to Charleston Harbor, is more effective
from a cost, time and environmental perspective. It will save an
estimated $40 million in construction costs, while also offering reduced
environmental impacts when compared to bringing in material from either
farther away or by truck.
“Using material from the ocean disposal site will generate significant
cost savings and benefits,” said David J. Posek, chairman of the
SCSPA. “Senator Graham, Congressman Brown and their staffs guided this
through the appropriate channels, and we are very thankful for their
help.”
“This a common sense decision to utilize existing resources for the
benefit of the taxpayer,” said U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham. “It is
fitting to take material dredged from the harbor for shipping and use it
to benefit trade for the whole nation.”
“I’m pleased with the great progress on port construction since permits
were issued last year,” said U.S. Congressman Henry Brown. “Port
expansion is vital to every region in South Carolina, and this decision
is one important step forward that will help keep the project on track.
This is great news for the Navy Base Terminal, and I was proud to have
worked with Senator Graham on this important effort.”
Permits for construction of the new terminal at the former Navy Base
involve the filling of approximately 57 acres, which will require up to
five million cubic yards of imported material. To reduce the impacts of
truck delivery, the SCSPA has committed to bring at least 75% of fill by
water. The SCSPA also plans to remove dredged material from its property
on Daniel Island, just across the Cooper River.
The Charleston ODMDS has been in continuous use for dredge disposal
activities since 1896. Most material from the construction and
maintenance of the entrance channel leading to Charleston Harbor is
deposited at this site. The material has already been tested and found
suitable for ocean disposal and therefore is clean and good for use in
construction.
The use of fill for creation of land for a container terminal is a true
beneficial use of dredge material that meets dredge policies and goals of
both the EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The material cannot be
used for beach nourishment or other potential beneficial purposes, and
the removal of the material from the site will extend the useful life of
the ODMDS.
