PROJECT DETAILS:
FY20 Keystone Harbor Maintenance Dredging, Coupeville, Washington.

The Seattle District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers proposes to conduct maintenance clamshell dredging of the Keystone Harbor in Coupeville, WA. The work is anticipated to begin in the Fall-Winter of 2020-2021 and all in-water work must be completed by 15 February 2021.  In-water work will occur between the hours of 2100 to 0500 to accommodate ferry traffic.  The volume of sediment to be dredged is approximately 30,000 cubic yards with disposal on the shoreline on the east side of the harbor. The dredging depth is 25 feet with an additional 2 feet of allowable overdepth. It is expected that material will be dredged using a clamshell dredge and placed on a barge. The barge would then transport the material to the shoreline where the dredged material would be placed water-ward, starting from the existing beach and graded uniformly to the existing grade, using a front end loader or similar equipment.

The magnitude of construction is expected to be $1 Million to $5 Million.
