Will fish and wildlife be protected during the the dredging activity?
The NJDEP Division of Fish and Wildlife (NJDEP DF&W) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) will be consulted during the preparation of the Environmental Information Document (EID). The NJDEP DF&W and the US-FWS will issue guidelines that must be adhered to during the project’s construction to minimize impacts and protect fish and wildlife

The dredging project will begin in early 2014. At this time, it is anticipated that dredging may require up to three years to complete.
