Maintenance Dredging, Chatham (Stage) Harbor, Massachusetts
The project proposes maintenance dredging in the lower portion of the 10-foot navigation channel of Chatham (Stage) Harbor for FY 73. The proposed periodic dredging would take place from deep water in Chatham Roads and extend up to Harding Beach peninsula. No maintenance dredging of the upper portion of the channel through Harding Beach peninsula and in Stage Harbor would take place at this time. Approximately 20,000 cubic yards of bottom sediment (sand) would be removed. If sidecast dredging is used, shoal material would be casted along the periphery of the channel. An estimated two weeks will be required to complete the work. Safe navigation into Chatham (Stage) Harbor will continue to exist for present human use if the proposed dredging project is accomplished. The local economy is dependent on harbor utilization, and the U.S. Coast Guard requires an open, navigable, entrance channel into the harbor. No detriment to the natural resources of the harbor is expected to result from periodic maintenance dredging and spoiling in this part of the channel. Only temporary and localized damages are expected to occur in the work areas.
