Pumps from the Army Corps of Engineers’ hopper dredge
Summary
Pumps from the Army Corps of Engineers’ hopper dredge Currituck, based out of Wilmington, N.C., filters sand from Bennett's Creek to increase the depth from 2 to 6 feet. The shallow-draft dredging of the federal navigation channel here began April 20, 2013. The Currituck will place approximately 4,000 cubic yards of sand - equivalent to 450 dump trucks of sand - at the Craney Island Dredged Material Management Area in Portsmouth, Va.
