ACTIVITY: The applicant, Perdue Agribusiness, has applied for a 10-year maintenance dredging permit. Perdue Agribusiness proposes to conduct hydraulic dredging of a portion of the Nanticoke River that was recently dredged in 2011, in order to develop a barge loading/unloading facility in Seaford, Sussex County, Delaware.
The project involves the hydraulic removal of approximately 7,800 cubic yards of sand and clay to a depth of -14’ MLLW and pumping the dredged material into geotubes located on Perdue Agribusiness property adjacent to the dredge site for dewatering purposes. The dredged material would be utilized at other Perdue facilities in Delaware and Maryland. The project location is indicated on the attached plans identified as Exhibit 1 through Exhibit 4.
