Phase I Dredging Centreville Small Craft Harbour, Digby County, NS

The Small Craft Harbours Branch of Fisheries and Oceans Canada proposes to undertake capital dredging at Centreville Harbour, located in Centreville in Digby County, Nova Scotia.  The proposed project will involve the capital dredging of a previously un-dredged section of the Centreville harbour. The proposed dredge area is 1,070 m2 located northeast of the central wharf. The area will be dredged to a grade of -1.5 meters, resulting in approximately 1,605 m3 of collected material. 

The method of dredging will be determined by the successful contractor however understanding the geotechnical conditions of the site, it is assumed that drilling and blasting will be required.  Work may be conducted at low tide when the harbour is dry by operating machinery directly on the harbour bottom.  A temporary road may also be constructed to enable work to take place during a longer period of the tide cycle. If blasting is required, this will be conducted in adherence with conditions set out in an approved blasting plan which will be developed by the contractor prior to commencement of work.  Dredge material would be transferred to trucks and disposed of on land (above HNT) within the Centreville SCH property.
