Timeline

The Project will be completed in multiple phases. The current Phase I – Planning effort supports the necessary investigations, studies, and engineering design work to meet all federal and state compliance requirements. Phase I of the Project delineates the exact location of the wetland creation site, identifies sources of material for wetland construction, and makes provision for an US Army Corps of Engineers construction permit for 1,200 acres of wetlands creation. It also prepares the engineering plans and specifications necessary for procurement of construction services for the initial construction phase for 100 acres of wetland. Phase I – Planning commenced in 2021. The initial construction phase is expected to begin in 2022 under a separate project.
