The permit applicant, Town of North Hempstead, has requested Department of the Army authorization for 10-year maintenance dredging at an existing boat ramp at Manorhaven Town Park and its entrance channel into Manhasset Bay, both in the Village Manorhaven, Town of North Hempstead, Nassau County, New York. All resultant dredged material will be placed either upland of the Plane of Spring High Water at Manorhaven Park Town Beach or, should any dredged material be deemed unsuitable for upland beach placement, be transported to the mainland for upland disposal. The stated purpose of this project is to maintain the entrance channel to Manhasset Bay at Manorhaven Town Park to provide safe navigation for recreational marine vessels, as well as to provide sand nourishment for the Manorhaven Town Park shoreline for erosion and flood protection.
