| 説明 | JASPER COUNTY, S.C.—Work continues at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Savannah Harbor dredge disposal area "12A" shown here Aug. 29, 2013. Col. Thomas Tickner, commander for the Corps' Savannah District, and his staff visit the work site and meet with David Snodgrass, a quality control manager from Edgefield Construction, the prime contractor for the 12A improvement project. The project includes the placement of 1.2 million cubic yards of dredge material to raise the dike, and the placement of 158,000 cubic yards of dredge material to place on inshore bird island, according to William Lane, Corps quality control inspector. The bird island will be topped with an additional 30,000 cubic yards of coarse sand, relocated from dredge disposal area "14B." The sand will form a two-foot layer to provide adequate nesting habitat for birds. The project also includes repairing five weirs—structures that control the flow of water to the disposal area—and expanding walkways on the weirs. When complete, the 12A project will increase the Corps' capacity to hold more dredged material from the Savannah Harbor. Construction began Sept. 2012 and is slated for completion in October 2013. The whole 12A interior spans 1,100 acres and is the Corps' largest disposal area for the Savannah Harbor. The Corps' Savannah District is responsible for operating and maintaining the Savannah shipping channel (and its associated dredge disposal areas) to ensure commerce has safe and adequate access to and from the Garden City Ocean Terminal. The Savannah Harbor is the nation's fourth busiest container port. USACE photo by Tracy Robillard. |
