The City of Norfolk has applied for an individual permit to dredge two channels in the Lafayette River. These channels are known as the West Belvedere Channel and the Regent Channel. The purpose of the dredging is to provide recreational boat access for the general public and properties located along both of these channels. Knowing that the property owners will want to connect their basins with the two channels, the City of Norfolk is proposing the creation/restoration of tidal wetlands and the creation of oyster reef habitat in order to compensate the impacts to mudflats resulting from both the municipal dredging and the proposed dredging of the surrounding property owners.
