What will happen to the sediment that is removed from the Pocket?
Current plans are to hydraulically dredge Manatee Pocket. A discharge pipe would run from the dredge up to the staging area , which is the designated dredged material handling site. The dredged material will be sent to an off site location prior to a final placement location. Based upon the Sediment testing results, most of the dredged material is expected to be put to beneficial use rather than being sent to a landfill for disposal.
