Current Articles: (12/12/11) Corps of Engineers seeks input on harbor
dredging
Monday, December 12, 2011
The Army Corps of Engineers will hold a public meeting and workshop
Tuesday as part of its study of the possible environmental effects of
deepening Charleston Harbor. It will be held 5:30-8 p.m. at The Citadel's
Mark Clark Hall.
"In order to consider the potential impacts, public participation early
and often is an important part of the process," the Corps of Engineers
said in a statement.
The State Ports Authority has said it needs to deepen the harbor's
shipping channel to 50 feet from 45 feet so it can accommodate a wave of
huge container ships entering the commercial fleet.
The Army Corps will be reviewing several alternatives in the feasibility
study and will focus on three main areas for each alternative:
engineering, economics and the environment. The review takes into account
if the project can be done, what must be done to make it safe and what
the cost will be.
Environmental issues to address include, but are not limited to: air,
surface water, groundwater, sediment, fish habitats, endangered species,
shoreline changes, and cultural and historical resources.
Participants will be able to interact with members of the study team and
discuss issues related to the deepening review. They also can submit
written comments, electronic comments and verbal comments through a court
report.
The Corps of Engineers' Charleston District is charged with preparing a
draft environmental impact statement for the dredging study.
The study will cost about $18 million to $20 million.
The corps said it has maintained Charleston Harbor for more than 130
years and spends $10 million to $15 million annually to ensure the
shipping channel is at the required federal project depth.
