The applicant, American Sugar Refining, Inc., has requested a Department of the Army permit to continue to perform maintenance dredging activities at its existing berth facility located at 1 Federal Street, Yonkers, Westchester County, New York. The purpose of this proposed annual maintenance dredging is to maintain sufficient water depths for the continued safe navigation of cargo vessels that unload raw sugar from ocean going ships and barges and to maintain water flow associated with the refinery’s cooling water intake.
