deepening of the inner channel from 36 to 40 ft and widening it to 400 ft. The middle turning 

 basin would be deepened from 35 to 39 ft to provide for a 1,200-ft-diameter turning area. The 

 north channel branch would be deepened from 35 to 39 ft with a width of 350 ft. A description 

 of the project is contained in the report of the Chief of Engineers dated July 24, 1991, as 

 modified by the letter of the Secretary of the Army dated October 10, 1991. Reference House 

 Document 102-156, 102 nd Congress, 1 st Session, dated October 21, 1991, and the District 

 feasibility report on deepening dated August 1990. 



1993 Sand-Bypass Modification . General Re-evaluation Report, Sand-Bypass System, 

 Canaveral Harbor, Florida, December 1992, Revised November 1993. The project modified the 

 sand-bypass feature from a fixed sand-transfer plant at the north jetty to hydraulic dredging from 

 a borrow site north of the jetty to the beach south of the inlet. The plan is to bypass 636,000 cy 

 of sand every 6 years (106,000 cy/year). Another feature of the modified bypass system was to 

 lengthen and sand-tighten the south jetty. The project modifications were approved by the Chief 

 of Engineers in 1994. 



F. 1.2. Canaveral Harbor Dredged Material 



Volumes of dredged material removed from Canaveral Harbor are listed in Table F-l. Prior 

 to 1974, dredged material was placed either in the ocean disposal site (Figure F-l) or stockpiled 

 in upland disposal areas, except for 120,000 cy in 1965 and 200,000 cy in 1972. Since 1974, a 

 combination of upland, offshore, beach, and nearshore disposal locations have been used 

 (Figure F-2).
