201560280/15-WL-0144: The KENTMORR MARINA, 910 Kentmorr Road, Stevensville, MD 21666 has applied to hydraulically maintenance dredge 500 cubic yards of material from the marina basin, the entrance channel and a 415-foot long by 70-foot wide entrance area to a depth of 6 feet below mean low water; and to hydraulically pump the material to nourish two adjacent onsite beach areas. The purpose of this project is to provide navigational access into the marina. The proposed project is located within the tidal waters of the Chesapeake Bay in Queen Anne's County.
For more information, please contact Rebecca Krieg at Rebecca.krieg@maryland.gov or at 410-537-3522.

Some more facts are needed before a reasonable conclusion can be determined. 1st of all, the math doesn't add up. 415' x 70' x 1' / 27 = 1076 cu./yds. and not 500. Surely they will be removing more than 1' of material. Using dredge spoils to replenish a beach or even build an island is done all the time, if it's good material. The problem I see in this specific case is that the Bay and all of it's tributaries are loaded with silt, which is NOT good material for a beach. Based on the quantity above, perhaps there will be some haul off and they will only use the good sand for replenishment??

You seem to be asking for people's opinions on a question that has a scientifically verifiable answer one way or the other.
Opinion has no place in the matter.

I have pros and cons on dredging and land replenishment and your questions and comments are helpful to me to see different sides of the issue. I love reading this forum. It is like having extra brains. Thanks for the info!

By the way, I tried to read the MDE information, bu could not make heads or tails of it.
