Mattituck Harbor dredging project starting next week

Southold Town Supervisor Albert J. Krupski has announced that the maintenance dredging of Mattituck Harbor (NY) will commence on October 1, 2024.

According to him, dredging of approximately 10,000 cubic yards of material is expected to be completed in early November.

The contractor will work to maintain the Federal Navigation Channel at 7 feet deep, 100 feet wide at the entrance and 80 feet wide. This will improve safety and navigation for recreational and commercial boaters in the area.

In Fiscal Year (FY) 2014, the Mattituck Inlet Federal Navigation Channel was used as a sand source for a beach nourishment project when approximately 100,000 cubic yards (CY) of dredged sand was placed at Baillie Beach Park in Mattituck, NY.

Prior to that, channel was maintenance dredged in FY2004, when approximately 14,000 CY of dredged sand was beneficially used along the Baillie Beach Park shoreline.
