The Cashman’s dredge “the Mighty Quinn” is currently performing maintenance dredging of the Kennebec River. This work is performed every 2-3 years and is funded by the U.S. Navy.

The work consists of hydraulically dredging sand waves from the Kennebec River to 31 feet contract depth plus 2 feet of over depth (33 feet total depth).

Maintenance of the Kennebec River at this location allows for U.S. Navy ships to navigate down river from Bath Iron Works.
