Well, slowly, but steadily, the Blind Pass Dredging Project is making progress.

Despite some mechanical problems with dear old “Dredge Nate”, who has now been relegated to work in the Gulf;   it seems that they are, in fact, moving at a reasonable rate.

An extension of three (3) weeks up to the date of July 8th rather than June 16th, has been added onto the project deadline for the simple fact that additional material has built up over the three year period between 2005 and 2008 when the two different surveys were taken for the proper timeline to be derived.

There also seems to be some concern with the finding of cement, asphalt and cemented seashells in the area, which has also seemed to add to the volume that needs to be removed.  You can see all of the details below:

Here is the pdf document to download if need be.

Well, that’s it for this week…

Have a great weekend,
