Maintenance Dredging, Kennebec River, Kennebec Maine
The U.S. Navy requires maintenance dredging of three portions of the 27-foot-deep, 500-foot-wide channel in the Lower Kennebec River, Maine, to support new surface combatants built at Bath Iron Works. Approximately 80,000 cubic yards of clean sand will be dredged, including about 61,000 from Doubling Point, 10,000 from Popham Beach, and 9,000 from Bath Reach. Dredged material from Bath Reach and Doubling Point will be placed in an in-river disposal area north of Bluff Head, while Popham Beach material will go to the Jackknife Ledge West nearshore site. The work is expected to take 3–4 weeks, with an available performance window from 1 December 2026 to 15 February 2027. Performance is located along the Kennebec River in the vicinity of Bath, Maine.
