It is proposed that approximately 95,000 cubic yards of spoil material be excavated and deposited at an ocean dump area located in Penobscot Bay. The project will restore the Federal shipping channel to its authorized dimensions, thereby alleviating existing shoal areas. Overall, the action will insure continued safe ship passage and subsequent viability of local economy dependent upon the harbor's resources. Some marine organisms will be destroyed in the dredge/spoil areas, particularly attached, sedentary species and shallow burrowing forms. Water quality will suffer temporary degradation during the work period.
