Channel Dredging Project Planned

OCEAN CITY — The federal Army Corps of Engineers is preparing to undertake a major maintenance dredging project for navigation channels in the coastal bays with dredged material intended to be spread at various important ecological sites in and around the resort.

The Army Corps of Engineers earlier this month posted a public notice about the maintenance dredging of navigation channels in the coastal bays planned for this winter and early next spring. The Isle of Wight Bay channel will be dredged from the Inlet to 8th Street in Ocean City. The channel is authorized to a depth of six feet and a width of 125 feet from the Inlet to 8th Street and then a width of 75 feet into the Isle of Wight Bay.
