A request has been submitted to the Army Corps of Engineers for dredging in late July.
“The channel is not in good shape,” said Chairman Steve “Creature” Coulter after the meeting. “A boat ran aground yesterday, and a boat ran aground today… We really need to get (the Corps) back in again as soon as possible, so the Coast Guard can do their search and rescue missions, charter boats can continue working, and commercial fisherman can continue working.”
Special permission is needed for every dredging event outside of the permitted environmental window of Oct. 1 through March 31, and a request is also being made in advance to do a late August dredging of the channel as well.
