The project proposes deepening and selective widening of an existing navigation channel from the U.S. Naval Submarine Base, New London, CT, to Long Island Sound, a distance of approximately 7.5 miles. The channel will be deepened from an existing depth of 33 feet to 36 feet with a one-foot allowance for overdredge. In addition, the approaches to the State Pier and the Naval Underwater System Center, both at New London, will be widened and dredged to a depth of 38 feet with a one-foot allowance for overdredge. The dredge spoil is estimated at 2.8 to 2.9 million cubic yards (CY) and is proposed to be disposed of in the New London Dumping Ground. Environmental impacts are discussed.
