The project involves mobilizing a dredge to Muskegon Harbor, conducting dredging operations between specified upstream and downstream limits, and placing dredged material according to project plans.

Historically the harbor required dredging every 3 to 5 years, but recent shoaling patterns now require annual dredging.

The Army Corps estimates that maintenance dredging of approximately 60,000 to 90,000 cubic yards is required on an annual basis.
