The dredging of Waquoit Bay is at least two years away.
âIf everything happens correctly and everything falls into place, we actually get to do some dredging in December of 2022,â Sanders Davies of the Waquoit Bay Yacht Club told the Falmouth Waterways Committee on Wednesday, February 3.
Due to the lengthy permitting, funding and RFP process, as well as time-of-year restrictions, Mr. Davies said fall 2023 is a more realistic start date. However, he acknowledged the schedule âmakes all sorts of assumptions about what weâre going to be able to do.â
Before the town can dredge bay and entrance channels, Harbormaster Gregg Fraser said, the town needs to find a location to place the dredge spoils.
Dinghies are often left at town landings year-round, but Falmouth Harbormaster Gregg Fraser said the practice will not be allowed under newly proposed regulations.
