Document Description
The Department is issuing a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement for the project who proposes to remove 7,000 to 8,000 cubic yards of natural deposit material throughout the 450-foot long harbor channel. All dredged materials will be placed on the beach immediately north of the harbor channel. The dredged material will then be spread over a 1.5-2.0 acre area. All dredged material will be placed behind the berm to prevent any surface flow of dredge material or water back into the sea. If needed, straw waddles will also be placed on the upslope side of the berm to aid in this retention. The project proponent also proposes to reconstruct the north jetty of Varner Harbor before the channel is dredged. The reconstructed jetty will provide access for equipment to conduct dredging on the harbor. This structure will be approximately 200 feet long by 12 feet wide by 6 feet high. The jetty will be constructed of approximately 570 cubic yards of exploded angular rip rap, filter fabric, and native soils. The jetty will be built over the footprint of the original north jetty, which is now submerged below the current level of the sea.
