Dredging management: Data and analysis for the New England/Long Island Sound region
Abstract
This technical assistance report is one product of the New England River Basins Commission's Long Range Dredging Study funded by the Water Resources Council, and was directed primarily to state and local officials involved in dredging management. Part 1 summarizes past dredging and future dredging projections for the New England/Long Island Sound Region. In the past decade, approximately 33 million cu yd of sediment have been dredged from New England/Long Island Sound (NE/LIS) waters. In the next decade, 1.7 million yards per year can be expected annually from Non-Corps of Engineers (CE) projects in the region. Maintenance dredging of 9.5 million cu yd is projected for the next decade.
