BRIEF DESCRIPTION
ICWW Reach I Maintenance Dredging Project, Flagler County, Florida
Project Overview The ICWW Reach I Maintenance Dredging Project involved extensive Intracoastal Waterway (ICWW) operations to maintain maritime safety and restore the channel depth. This project focused on a section of the ICWW in Flagler County, Florida, addressing sediment accumulation and ensuring the channel met the required depth specifications.
Scope of Work
- Dredging Area:
- Location: The maintenance dredging was carried out from ICWW Cut F-2 STA 32+00 through ICWW Cut F-10 STA 12+52.
- Volume: Approximately 185,200 cubic yards of material were to be dredged from the specified section of the ICWW.
- Dredging Depth:
- Target Depth: The excavation aimed to achieve a channel elevation of -14 feet Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW), with a project depth of -12 feet and an additional 2 feet allowable over depth.
- Material Handling:
- Offloading: All dredged material was transported and offloaded at the District-owned ±44-acre Dredged Material Management Area (DMMA) FL-3 in Palm Coast, Florida.
Operational Challenges
- Weather Impact: The project experienced minimal delays despite Hurricane Dorian approaching the area. The project team managed to keep disruptions to a minimum and maintain progress.
