River dredging in Cameron
The West Cameron Port,
Harbor & Terminal District has applied for a Coastal Use permit to dredge the Calcasieu Loop Pass and East Fork of the Calcasieu River. The town of Cameron is located along the north side of the loop and Monkey Island is inside the loop. This is proposed maintenance dredging of the Calcasieu River Loop Pass and the East Fork of the Calcasieu River near the city of Cameron. Approx. 2,012,012 cu. yds. of waterbottom material will be hydraulically dredged from the Calcasieu River Loop Pass and pumped to a spoil disposal area in the Gulf of Mexico west of the mouth of the Calcasieu River. Approx. 180,000 cu. yds. of waterbottom material will be hydraulically dredged from the East Fork and pumped to an existing deep area in the East Fork. Areas to be dredged are located approx. 1 mile and 4 miles north of the mouth of the Calcasieu River. The large spoil disposal area is located to the immediate west of the mouth. Approx. 2,012,012 cu. yds. of waterbottom material will be hydraulically dredged from the Calcasieu River Loop Pass and used beneficially by being pumped to a subsided marsh area approx. 4 miles to the west. As previously permitted, approx. 180,000 cu. yds. of waterbottom material will be hydraulically dredged from the East Fork and pumped to and deposited in an existing deep area in the East Fork. http://www.dequincynews.com/pilot/cam_1_28/page_1.pdf Map at bottom right on link above. |
