Halfway home in Pascagoula
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Mobile District project at the Round Island Coastal Preserve in Pascagoula is nearing the midway point.
District engin...eers from the Irvington Office, in conjunction with local contractors, have been working diligently on the project for more than a month dredging the Pascagoula Channel to authorized depth and placing beneficial use material on a berm adjacent to Round Island.

Cold weather is coming. Ensure you & your family are prepared.
Clouter Creek Disposal Area has a critical role in Charleston's deepening.
In order to keep Charleston Harbor at the authorized depth of 45 feet, we have to have somewhere to put the material we dredge up. That's why we have the Cloute...r Creek Disposal Area. You'll see it as you drive over 526 and look down. It's the big mud pit. This big mud pit goes through a lot of life cycles as we continually pump more material into it, but this ugly thing is critical to the ability to keep our harbor maintained.
