First Phase of Old Sandwich Harbor Dredging Project Was Approved

The Woods Hole Group is working with the town on the project, which would see the dredging of the Harbor and placing the sediment onto Town Neck Beach.

The first phase of this project consists of reviewing existing information, conducting an ecological habitat assessment including a shellfish survey, field data collection and holding a regulatory meeting. Phase two would consist of a hydrodynamics assessment and alternative development and analysis, while phase three would feature engineering design and plans and environmental permitting.

The total cost for phase one is $48,800 and if it goes forward, phase two and three would cost $66,000 and $70,000 respectively.
