FLORIDA – CHARLOTTE HARBOR TO TAMPA BAY – BIG SARASOTA PASS: Dredging Operation
Cottrell Contracting Corporation will be conducting dredging operations in the northwest vicinity of Big Sarasota Pass, between Siesta Key and the southern tip of Lido Key. Dredging operations are scheduled to be conducted twenty-four (24) hours a day seven (7) days a week from July 6, 2020 to approximately November 5, 2020. Dredging will be performed outside and adjacent to the channel ranging from 500 feet Northwest of Daybeacon 13 and varying up to 1,200 feet Northwest of Daybeacon 8. The dredge and pontoon lines are held in place by cables, which are
attached to anchors some distance from the dredge and pontoons. Buoys are attached to the anchors and may be moved as the dredge moves. Approximately 3,000 feet of 20-inch pipeline is to be used for transportation of material, entering on the Southwest end of Lido Key Beach. All mariners are requested to exercise extreme caution and remain a safe distance (at least 500 feet) when approaching, passing, and leaving the dredge and related equipment. Mariners are also cautioned to remain a safe distance away from the booster, buoys, cables, pipelines, barges,
derricks and operating wires around the dredge, and submerged lines should be avoided.
The dredge ROCKBRIDGE can be contacted on VHF channels 13 and 16, prior to passing, and approaching the vessel or equipment, and a slow NO WAKE speed is requested for transiting vessels. For further information contact Cottrell Contracting at (757) 547-9611. Chart 11425 LNM 26/20
