Hello everyone,
I know a major modification request just went out this week for your review to permanently allow an expanded dredge
corridor for the South Ferry Channel project, but due to recent shoaling and shallow water depths, Dare Co is also
requesting expedited consideration to allow them to dredge with the Merritt and Miss Katie in October. Note that I have
updated the attachments to include the most recent request (rather than just use of the Merritt as Brad describes in his
email below).
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns regarding this proposed October work as soon as you are able
and/or by September 30, if at all possible.
Thanks in advance and I hope you all have a great weekend!

Good afternoon Josh, Heather, and Paul,

I believe that my colleague Ken Willson has been In touch with you over the past few days in regards to the dynamic
situation at Hatteras Inlet. As you know, the Inlet complex Is prone to rapid shoaling. In an attempt to maintain
navigation between Sloop Channel and the Inlet gorge, the County has been working In cooperation with the OSACE to
ensure efforts are made to keep the passage safe for mariners. As you will see In the attached letter and
supporting documents, the County Is seeking permission to respond to the latest she a ling within several discrete areas
within the channel that now connects Sloop Channel to the Inlet gorge Specifically, this entails the use of the OSACE
sttleaster dredge Merritt for up to ] days of operation between the extract Oct. ] and Oct.31.
Please feel free to reach out directly to myself of Ken anytime should you have any questions or require any additional
Information.
