During this project, approximately 13,300 cubic yards of predominantly silt and very fine sand material will be dredged from the mentioned areas.

The estimated cost is between $500,000 and $1 mln. The implementation will occur in the winter of 2013-14 and is expected to take 4 to 6 weeks to complete.
