The dredging will take place in the Lake Michigan approach and between the pierheads near the Lighthouse. Dredge spoil will be placed south of South Beach as a beach replenishment process.
The project is a hydraulic dredging operation. There will be pipe extended through the channel dredging area, which may be floating or suspended under water. Pipe will be extended from the dredging area to a beach replenishment area south of South Beach.
