NEW YORK –The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New York District, is pleased to announce two additional upcoming virtual public meetings aimed at gathering feedback on the Interim Dredged Material Management Plan (DMMP) Update for the Port of New York and New Jersey.
Scheduled for Thursday, June 20, 2024, there are two sessions from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM and 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM Eastern Time. The event serves as a platform for the public to give feedback on dredging activities within the Port of New York and New Jersey.
The Interim DMMP Update is designed to effectively manage dredged material from various sources, including Federal Navigation Channels, Department of the Army permitted projects, and Federal Harbor deepening. This plan covers the critical five-year period between 2025 and 2029, with a focus on addressing dredged material placement needs up to the anticipated completion of the Historic Area Remediation Site (HARS) remediation in the New York Bight.
In compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended, the New York District will prepare a Supplemental Environmental Assessment that will be integrated with the Interim DMMP Update Report.
Attendees of the event are encouraged to provide feedback on upcoming dredged material projects, potential placement locations, and dredged material processing facilities. Further details regarding the scope of the Interim DMMP Update can be accessed on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New York District website at: https://www.nan.usace.army.mil/Missions/Navigation/Dredged-Material-Management-Plan/
