Info session for White Creek dredging project set

Posted

BETHANY BEACH — The Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control will hold a virtual information session July 28 to discuss the upcoming White Creek dredging project.

The meeting will be held 5-6:30 p.m. via Zoom. More information and the link to join can be found here.

Since White Creek was last dredged in the early 2000s, shoaling has increasingly impacted navigation in the waterway, which connects the Indian River Bay to the Assawoman Canal and ultimately to Little Assawoman Bay.

The project is in the design phase, and an alternatives analysis is also underway to identify beneficial uses for dredged material to enhance wetland areas close to White Creek.

Interested parties are encouraged to submit questions in advance of the session. Attendees can also provide comments and ask questions about the initiative during the meeting.

For more information, call the Division of Watershed Stewardship at 739-9921.
