Exploratory drilling set for Detroit Marina as Army Corps permitting continues
Summary
Staff reported exploratory drilling at Detroit Marina in mid-February as part of site evaluation for ARPA-funded excavation; Army Corps of Engineers permits remain under review and the project timeline targets fall 2026 excavation and December 2026 ARPA funding deadlines.
County and project staff told the council that exploratory drilling at Detroit Marina is scheduled for mid-February to determine subsurface rock conditions ahead of planned excavation. Staff said they are actively coordinating permit materials with the Army Corps of Engineers and that some early equipment movements around the marina could draw public attention.
The project timeline presented to the council shows phased permitting and preparatory work through summer 2026 with excavation anticipated in fall 2026; staff noted ARPA funding deadlines that require substantial completion of excavation and materials handling by Dec. 2026. Councilors asked for public outreach ideas to keep residents informed as work and equipment mobilization proceed.
