USA: Cohasset Harbor Dredging To Begin In October

The dredging of Cohasset Harbor is now scheduled to begin in October and to end 10 to 12 weeks later, according to the Army Corps of Engineers.

The project involves removing about 62,000 cubic yards of sandy sediment, from an 8-foot-deep entrance channel, a 7-foot-deep anchorage area, and three 6-foot-deep anchorages in the harbor.

Sand will be removed from the harbor using a hydraulic dredge with a cutter head, then transported along the coastline to Sandy Beach, where it will be distributed across the beach by bulldozers.
