USACE to use Delaware City DMPF for future dredging projects

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is proposing to use the Delaware City Dredge Material Placement Facility (DMPF) for future maintenance dredging projects.

The primary objective of this project is to provide a long-term, safe, placement facility for dredged materials related to the Delaware River Philadelphia to Sea navigation maintenance project and the Chesapeake and Delaware (C&D) Canal navigation maintenance project.

The Federally owned Delaware City DMPF is located north of the C&D Canal in New Castle County, Delaware.

The proposed activity is subject to review for consistency under the policies of the DNREC DCMP.

The deadline for sending comments concerning this Federal Consistency Determination is Tuesday, November 5, 2024.
