Please give a brief project description below.

The project is located on the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway at 2307
and 2223 Middle Sound Loop Road in Wilmington, New Hanover
County. Waters in the project area are classified as SA, ORW and
are not open to shellfishing. The project area is not located in a
Primary Nursery Area.
The project has an extensive permitting history. The most recent
permit was obtained from DCM in August of 2015 (#84-15). It
authorized restoring the access channel and the basin to a -5 MLW
depth. Existing docking facilities located within the basin were
permitted in 2014 (2223 Middle Sound Loop Rd) and 2015 (2307
Middle Sound Loop Rd).
Current water depths have shoaled to -3' MLW to -3.5' MLW, under
the structures. Current water depths within the basin range from -3.5'
to 4' MLW in the middle portions to -2' to -3' MLW along some of the
edges. Within the access channel, depths generally range from -3.5'
MLW to -4.5' MLW until they begin to taper down to the deeper
waters of the USACE Navigation Channel.
There is no upland work proposed. Due to water depths within the
existing basin and access channel out to the USACE Navigation
Channel, maintenance dredging to the previously maintained -5'
MLW is proposed. The 300' x 50' access channel box cut to -5 MLW
will generate approximately 900 cubic yards of dredge spoil, the 175'
canal (width varies from 25' to 40') will generate approximately 450
cubic yards and the 175' x 50' area associated with restoring water
depths around the existing docking facilities will generate
approximately 650 cubic yards of spoil. Bucket -to -barge excavation is
proposed, and the excavated material will be placed on DA-228
outside of the USACE right-of-way along and adjacent to the existing
dike. It is understood that a consent agreement must be obtained
prior to crossing the USACE right-of-way to place spoil material.
A written concurrence is requested since the proposed maintenance
dredge area will be in excess of 0.5 acres.
Please give a couple of dates you are available for a meeting.
