Navigation Interested parties are hereby notified of the continued limited capacity at the Norfolk District’s Craney Island Dredged Material Management Area (CIDMMA). To accommodate infrastructure maintenance and engineering improvements to maximize dike raising efforts and future dredged material capacity, resumption of normal dredged material deposits into the upland cells and the rehandling basin of the CIDMMA are expected to be deferred through calendar year 2029 at a minimum. Potential CIDMMA users are urged to plan for alternative placement options for their projects through calendar year 2029.

In order to maintain deep water access to its commercial marine repair facility, Marine Hydraulics International proposes maintenance dredging to a depth of -38.14 feet at mean low water. The location of the existing berthing area is located in Norfolk, on the Elizabeth River, at approximate location latitude 36.8617 and longitude -76.3125. Approximately 85,000 cubic yards of material will be mechanically dredged, placed in scow barges, and transported to the Craney Island Dredged Material Management Area and deposited in the Rehandling Basin.
