PROJECT AREA

Material removed from the site on Onslow Island will be placed in DMCA 12A or DMCA 13A or the Sediment Basin Area. The designated area for placement is shown in the solicitation drawings.

The project site (outlined in RED) is located on Onslow Island and is accessible by water only. It is in the vicinity of a USACE formerly-used Dredged Material Containment Area

1S (DMCA 1S).

The contractor will complete the restoration of approximately 29 acres of brackish marsh, including excavation of material and creation of feeder creeks to enable tidal connectivity on the site. During excavation for marsh restoration, feeder creeks will be excavated to tie into adjacent bodies of water. The extent of the marsh restoration areas will begin at the toe of excavated 3H:1V cut slopes. Some additional, incidental work should be anticipated to establish vegetation across the face of the 3H:1V cut slopes. The final elevation for the marsh restoration is approximately +7.6’ mean lower low water (mllw). The project includes installation and removal of silt fence and other erosion control measures, clearing and grubbing, marsh restoration and feeder creek excavation, and removal/disposal of excavated materials from the site.

The project is located within a designated area on Onslow Island (Northing: 782,928.2516; Easting:

974,087.2680), within the Savannah River at the confluence of the Front River and Middle River and is within the boundaries of the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge. The site is owned and managed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). Access to the project site is by water only.

Photos of the project site(s) are permitted but any disturbance of the area (i.e. cutting of any vegetation, digging of any soil, etc.) is prohibited without a Special Use Permit issued by the USFWS. Point of contact for a permit is Mr. Russ Webb, Russell_webb@fws.gov, (912) 313-1366.
