USACECurrituck in Rudee Inlet, 29 January 2012, to dredge within the federal navigation channel. Currituck
dredged the shoaling across the channel to maintain the channel depth at 10-feet. The shoal had caused depths as shallow as seven feet in some areas. Currituck,
one of the Corps' dredges, is a highly utilized resource throughout coastal projects along the East Coast. During this project, approximately 25,000 cubic yards was
dredged. The Wilmington, NC-based Currituck will return to Virginia in April to dredge anticipated shoaling in the channel. Rudee Inlet is considered an
extremely dynamic tidal inlet and requires regular maintenance dredging.

USACE Currituck in Bennett’s Creek, 24 April 2013, to remove shoaling in the federal navigation channel. The Wilmington, N.C.-based
dredge will remove 4,000 cubic yards of sand -- the result of shoaling caused by natural transport and deposit of sediment. The shoaling, which was exacerbated by
Hurricane Sandy, presents both safety and economic impacts for the maritime industry and nation. The dredging will increase the depth from 2 to 6 feet in half of the
60-foot channel.
