Fishing Creek South Jetty Rehab and Maintenance Dredging, Chesapeake Beach, Maryland

May 26, 2022 (Chesapeake Beach, MD) - The U.S. Corps of Engineers Baltimore District released a Contract Opportunity seeking sources for the Fishing Creek Jetty Rehab and Maintenance Dredging, Calvert County Maryland Notice ID W912DR22B0014. The scope includes the rehabilitation of the southern jetty at Fishing Creek to a height of 6 ft MLLW using a 1.5 to 3-ton capstone. The jetty rehabilitation will be segmented into three sections with a total length of approximately 1,000 ft.

An access channel will need to be dredged prior to construction due to no land access at the jetty. The access channel will be no more than 75 ft wide and 10 ft MLLW deep. Dredged material will be placed at an existing nearby upland placement site.

Maintenance dredging will occur at the Fishing Creek federal navigation channel. Approximately 22,000 cubic yards of material will be hydraulically dredged and transported via pipeline to the same existing upland site as the access channel dredged material. No earthwork berm repairs are needed, but the three existing weir boxes will need to be replaced at the existing placement site.

All plans and documents are available for public view here.
