NEW YORK –The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New York District, is excited to announce its upcoming virtual Industry Outreach event aimed at gathering feedback on the Interim Dredged Material Management Plan (DMMP) Update for the Port of New York and New Jersey. Scheduled for Thursday, May 16, 2024, from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM Eastern Time, the event serves as a platform for entities, organizations, and companies involved or anticipating involvement in dredging activities within the Port of New York and New Jersey from 2025 to 2029.
The Interim DMMP Update is designed to effectively manage dredged material from various sources, including Federal Navigation Channels, Department of the Army permitted projects, and Federal Harbor deepening. This plan covers the critical five-year period between 2025 and 2029, with a focus on addressing dredged material placement needs up to the anticipated completion of the Historic Area Remediation Site (HARS) remediation in the New York Bight.
In compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended, the New York District will prepare a Supplemental Environmental Assessment that will be integrated with the Interim DMMP Update Report.
Attendees of the event are encouraged to provide feedback on upcoming dredged material projects, potential placement locations, and dredged material processing facilities.
