Additional clay materials will be placed along a northern and eastern alignment forming a 260 acre beneficial use (BU) site. Remaining material to be dredged will then be placed in the BU site to provide a bed for future sea grass development. Dredge material not used in the construction and filling of the BU site will be placed in upland placement areas 13 and 14.
