Channel A Dredge

Birkitt Environmental Services, Inc. (Birkitt) provided environmental services and led permitting efforts for Bay Colony POA Group for the Channel A Dredge project, which entailed an approximate 3,884 cubic yard dredge to allow continued boat access to Tampa Bay in Hillsborough County, FL. Pre-application meetings were conducted with Port Tampa Bay (PTB) and the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). Site surveys to assess existing ecological conditions in the area of the proposed dredge activities were also conducted. Birkitt obtained approvals from PTB, the USACE, and the Environmental Protection Commission of Hillsborough County (EPC) for the dredge. A post-construction benthic resource survey was conducted to document that the dredge did not result in impacts to adjacent seagrass beds.
