Maintenance Dredging of the Long Island Intracoastal Waterway Federal Navigation Project at Moriches Bay, Suffolk County, New York Market Survey Background Information The New York District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) proposes to perform maintenance dredging of the Long Island Intracoastal Waterway (LIIW) Federal Navigation Project at Moriches Bay. The proposed maintenance dredging would remove approximately 100,000 cubic yards (CY) of sand with placement along the shoreline of Cupsogue Beach County Park, subject to availability of funds. The placement area is approximately 1.5 miles from the dredging area. Dredging would be required to a depth of -6 feet Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) plus 2 feet allowable overdepth. The proposed work is anticipated to be performed by utilizing a hydraulic dredge. Additionally, barges, tug boats, pipeline and land based equipment such as dozers, will be needed to perform the work during the dredging and placement activities. The dredging and placement along the shoreline would be required to meet all federal, state, and approved local criteria required by the government agencies having jurisdiction where the dredging and placement sites are located. Once the contract is awarded, the contractor will be required to commence work within five (5) calendar days after the date of receipt by him of the Notice To Proceed (NTP), and maintain an integrated production rate of at least 2,200 cubic yards per calendar day for the dredging and placement of the dredged sand. The presence of dredging equipment in the channel will impact ship traffic, and it is necessary to maintain this production rate while minimizing the duration of this impact. The proposed work is anticipated to take place in the fall/winter of 2022/2023. The work is estimated to cost between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000.
