The Army Corps of Engineers will hold a public meeting and workshop next week as it studies the possible environmental effects of deepening Charleston Harbor. It will be held 5:30-8 p.m. Dec. 13 at The Citadel’s Mark Clark Hall.
Participants can interact with members of the study team and discuss the economics, engineering and environmental aspects for the deepening review. They also can submit written comments, electronic comments and verbal comments through a court report.
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.
