The maintenance material in Altamaha Sound (mile 656.4 to mile 660) will be placed in an open water site to create a temporary 13.2 acre bird nesting site to assist Georgia Department of Natural Resources with available migratory shorebird habitat lost due to the last two hurricanes along the coast within the State.  Any shoaled material not being use for the bird island will be placed on Tract 36A which is an unconfined placement site on an island (Hammock) in the Altamaha River.
