Tudor Wharf Draft Environmental Impact Report EOEA # 6744 



undetermined amount of material for the 

 docking facilities that were proposed. 

 The project has been modified since 

 publication of the E.N.F. The current 

 proposal is to dredge approximately 6,600 

 cubic yards of material along the 

 southeast side of the pier in order to 

 accommodate a historical ship. The berth 

 will be 200 X 30 feet and dredged to 15 

 ft at MLW. The proposed historical ship 

 berth will be 200 feet long, 30 feet wide 

 and 15 feet deep at low tide. At low 

 tide, the proposed berthing area is 

 currently exposed mudflat and shallow 

 water that will need dredging. There will 

 be 6,655 cubic yards of dredge spoils. 



Two dredge material disposal options are 

 being evaluated. One is to dispose of the 

 spoils at the Massachusetts Bay Foul Area 

 15 miles east of Marblehead. The second 

 is to dispose of it in a landfill. 



A sediment analysis has revealed that the 

 spoils contain trace levels of arsenic, 

 cadmium and chromium, higher levels of 

 mercury and a high level of lead. 



The project as proposed will generate 

 approximately 22,000 gallons per day of 

 wastewater. This area is served by the 

 Boston Water and Sewer Commission and the 

 Massachusetts Water Resources Authority.
