Dredging in the St. Lawrence River

Permittee: St Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation, PO Box 520, Massena NY 13662-0520

Project Area: Navigation Channel, South of Cornwall Island, Akwesasne, NY 13655

Project Description: The Seaway requests a Water Quality Certification from the Tribe for proposed maintenance dredging in the St. Lawrence River. The dredging will take place in the International Tangent Section of the navigation channel between Cornwall Island and Hen Island. Approximately 3,200 cubic yards of sediments from four isolated spots in the channel will be removed. The Tribe is requiring environmental dredging techniques for the project with no barge overflow. Sediments will be temporarily stored in a containment area near the Snell lock, and then properly disposed.

The Tribe’s Historic Preservation Officer has found no significant impact to archeological resources resulting from the project on the US portion of the reserve.

Please submit written public comments to the Tribe’s contact person for this project. The repository for documents pertaining to this project is located at the SRMT Environment Division office, 449 Frogtown Rd, Akwesasne, NY 13655.
