A Federal Consistency Certification has been submitted to the DNREC Coastal Management Program (DCMP) for the following: Indian River Inlet Dredging and Beneficial Use Project (2024.0054)

The Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) Division of Watershed Stewardship proposes to utilize a U.S. Army Corp of Engineers permit to hydraulically dredge up to 550,000 cubic yards of material from three potential borrow sites: the Indian River Inlet Flood Shoal, the Middle Island Shoal, and/or the Burton Island Shoal. The dredged material will be transported via pipeline to restore approximately 5,200 linear feet of the North Beach berm and dune system near the Indian River Inlet, Sussex County, Delaware, beginning from the north jetty and extending northward. The proposed activity is subject to review for consistency under the policies of the DCMP.
