Lt. Gen. Todd T. Semonite, USACE Commanding General and 54th U.S. Army Chief of Engineers, signed the “Delaware Beneficial Use of Dredged Material for the Delaware River Feasibility Study” Chief’s Report on Friday following a brief from the Philadelphia District team. The study was developed in response to damages along the Delaware Bay shoreline caused by erosion, wave attack, and inundation.
The report recommends beneficially using dredged material from the bay for beach nourishment at Pickering Beach, Kitts Hummock, Bowers Beach, and South Bowers Beach in Kent County, Delaware and at Slaughter Beach, Prime Hook Beach and Lewes Beach in Sussex County, Delaware. The signing of the report advances the project to Congress for authorization.
