Darien dredging update: Army Corps deadline this December; DEEP permit valid through 2029
Summary
Martin Masterson updated the commission on a potential main‑channel dredging project, noting an Army Corps deadline this December and that the Corps approval could extend to Dec. 15, 2027 if the project is contracted; the DEEP permit is valid for five years, through 2029.
Commission member Martin Masterson reported on the harbor’s main‑channel dredging project timeline and permitting. He said an initial deadline set by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is this December and that, if the project were underway or contracted, the Corps approval could extend to Dec. 15, 2027.
Masterson noted the commission should contact the town consultant to request reissuance or an extension of the Army Corps license if the project will not start this year. The transcript also records that the DEEP permit remains valid for five years (through 2029). No votes or contract awards were taken at the July 16 meeting; Masterson framed the item as a status update and next‑step planning for the town and its consultant.
