Martha’s Vineyard Dredging Plan Unveiled

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District, is issuing an Invitation for Bids for Maintenance Dredging of the Menemsha Creek, in Aquinnah and Chilmark, Martha’s Vineyard, MA.

Approximately 60,000 cubic yards of predominantly sandy sediment will be dredged from the 10-ft entrance channel, 8-ft navigation channel, and 6-ft anchorage by hydraulic cutterhead dredger.

The sandy dredge material will be pumped via pipeline to Lobsterville Beach in Aquinnah.

Dredging operations, worth between $1 million and $5 million, are expected to last 8 to 10 weeks and will occur between October 1, 2015 and January 31, 2016 to minimize impact to natural resources in the area.
