Dredging at Former Jetty NE - Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Halifax

The Department of National Defence (DND) has proposed a project. Jetty NE was constructed in the 1940s and demolished in 2012. During construction, a berm of granular material was created below the jetty footprint to compensate for a lack of overburden required to install piles. The berm and some piles/debris were not removed during the 2012 demolition. The proposed project includes removal of piles/debris located below the footprint of former Jetty NE and disposal at an approved facility, removal of the berm via dredging, and subsequent disposal of the dredged materials at a land-based facility. Dredging will be conducted to remove the berm to a chart datum of -9.2 meters. Project activities do not include blasting. It was anticipated that approximately 17,500 cubic meters of material would require dredging and subsequent disposal.
