The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Philadelphia District, is issuing a draft Environmental Assessment (EA) titled: Delaware Coast Protection – Indian River Inlet Sand Bypass Project – North Beach Supplemental Sand Nourishment - Sussex County, Delaware (NEPA Unique ID: EAXX-202-00-E5P-1742316597). In addition to the no action alternative, the EA evaluates the placement of beachfill along the shoreline on the north side of Indian River Inlet (North Beach) for the purpose of restoring and/or maintaining the berm and dune for a distance of approximately 5,000 linear feet north of the north inlet jetty (Figure 1 and Figure 2). The EA also evaluates sand sources that would provide beachfill quality material for the beach restoration. The purpose of this action is to provide protection to the critical infrastructure of the State Route 1 Charles W. Cullen Bridge and its approach on the north side, which has been experiencing significant erosion. Comments are requested by April 19, 2025.

  • Trenton Marine Terminal Stream Bank and Shoreline Erosion Protection Draft Environmental Assessment
  • The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Philadelphia District (USACE) has released a draft Environmental Assessment titled Trenton Marine Terminal, City of Trenton, Mercer County New Jersey Streambank and Shoreline Erosion Protection. USACE is proposing to repair a collapsed section of pier located on the Delaware River near the junction of State Highway 29 and State Highway 129 on the south side of the City of Trenton, Mercer County, New Jersey. The purpose of the project is to protect the public infrastructure at the Trenton Marine Terminal from imminent damage and the possibility of eventual collapse. The infrastructure is located in a public park that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The collapsed pier should be rebuilt in the same dimensions and appearance as the formerly existing one, except for the use of steel piles rather than timber piles to significantly increase the stability of the structure; with the objective to rebuild the pier in a manner that would preserve the historic character of the park while minimizing impacts to the river bottom substrate.
  • More details are available in the draft Environmental Assessment document. Public comments are due by June 4, 2019. Comments may be submitted by email or in writing to: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Environmental Resources Branch, 100 Penn Square E. Philadelphia PA, 19107.
