UPDATE 2: Dredging - Read Eamonn's letter - please write one

/

Final Dredging report for the Stone Wharf and related documents. https://www.nae.usace.army.mil/Missions/Projects-Topics/Great-Chebeague-Island/

Last Summer, Eamonn’s parents bought a house on Chebeague. Last week, he heard about the dredging problem. So, he wrote this letter. (His younger brother folded it to go in the envelope)

From the Board of Selectmen. As we all know the channel at the Stone Wharf is filling in and dredging is long overdue. CTC is in the position of cancelling trips at -1' tides because of the silting. The Town has been working on this problem for a dozen years. Now we are in a crisis situation.

We hope that the project will begin by the end of 2021 but there are no guarantees. The Army Corps of Engineers needs to hear how the silting of the channel and boat cancellations are impacting you and your family. Please send a letter of concern to:
