Annual Grays Harbor dredging to start this month

Grays Harbor annual maintenance dredging will begin March 28.

Working around-the-clock through April 16, the Corps will dredge the Grays Harbor Entrance, Point Chehalis and South Reach channels and place dredged materials at their Point Chehalis and South Jetty open water disposal sites, as well as Half Moon Bay.

A second Corps hopper dredge is scheduled to arrive April 5 and work through May 5 to dredge the Grays Harbor Bar and Entrance, as well as the Point Chehalis reaches.

The Corps is expected to dredge approximately one million cubic yards of material from Grays Harbor.
