$3 million in dredging approved for Yarmouth

03/05/14

Royal River project could happen as soon as this year

Congresswoman Chellie Pingree said the US Army Corps of Engineers has put a long-needed dredging project on the Royal River in Yarmouth on their list of approved and funded projects for this year.

"The Royal River is key to the working waterfront of Yarmouth and the shallower it's gotten the less useful it is for those who depend onit," Pingree said. "We've been pushing for this project for years and I'm glad that the money is finally there. The Corps has a big workload for this year, in part because of Hurricane Sandy, but I'm hopeful they will fit this project in sometime this year now that the money is there."

Pingree, a Member of the House Appropriations Committee, has pushed for funding for various Maine dredge projects, including Wells Harbor and the Royal River in Yarmouth. The budget for the Corps' Fiscal Year 2014 workplan includes $3 million to complete the Yarmouth project.
