FLORIDA – AICW – WEST PALM BEACH TO MIAMI – LAKE WORTH SOUTH AND HILLSBORO RIVER: Maintenance Dredging Palm Beach and Broward Counties.
Cavache Inc. will commence dredge operations in the AICW in two locations approximately 16 miles apart. The first operation will be in Palm Beach County, Delray Beach located adjacent to DMAA MSA-641A and the second, in Broward County, at the confluence of the AIWW and the Hillsboro Inlet channel. Mobilization of equipment, pipeline set up and dredging expected to begin in late April. Project completion expected no later than July 2019.

The dredge MAYA CAELYN will be disposing of the material via floating, submerged and landward pipelines at the DMMA MSA-641A Delray Beach off the ACWW. There will be portions of the pipeline closest to the dredge that will remain floating and marked with flashing lights at night. The remaining pipeline will run on the shoreline or sunk to allow boating traffic to have access to the channels.

Mechanical excavation and barge operations in Broward County, lies at the confluence of the AIWW and the Hillsboro Inlet channel. Barges will use the ICWW to transport the dredged spoil to the Delray Beach, Palm Beach county disposal facility. Mariners are urged to stay clear of the
barges and dredge to avoid potential interference with the pipeline and operations; and to take caution around working vessels and keep wake to a minimum. The dredge and barges will monitor VHF channels 16 and 79. For further information, contact Cavache at (954) 568-0007.
