The dredging work is scheduled to com- mence in the Spring 2017, but has yet to start. Preparatory activities underway since January relate to the fact that the method of dredging in 2017 (hydraulic dredging) is different than the dredging performed in 2016 (mechanical dredging). Preparatory activities currently underway (week of April 10th): ~ Continued installation of sediment processing and water treat- ment equipment needed for 2017 work including filter presses and conveyor belts. ~ Two dredges mobilized and placed in the water. ~ Completion of turbidity curtain installation around the ABD. ~ Securing permit modifications addressing changes in the sedi- ment treatment processes ~ Continue routine inspection of site and work areas per approved permits and for safety reasons. Preparatory activities scheduled (week of April 17th): ~ Continue installation of sediment processing and water treatment equipment needed for 2017 work. ~ Re-installation of section of permanent fence removed to accom- modate large trailers with sediment processing equipment to be mobilized to the project site. ~ Bathymetric surveying. ~ Initiate fish relocation. ~ Continue routine inspection of site and work areas per approved permits and for safety purposes.
