U.S. Govt. Shutdown Delays Mill Creek Landing Dredging
The Middlesex County Board of Supervisors is facing delays in the permit process for a routine maintenance dredge at Mill Creek public boat landing due to the potential presence of northeastern beach tiger beetles and! the U.S. government shutdown.
"We thought this was going to be a pretty easy process (to have local contractors perform a maintenance dredge), but it does not appear that it is going to be so easy this time," said David Kretz, Middlesex County Planning and Zoning Director.
The dredging is necessary to address the silt and sand that returns to the boat landing every 10 to 12 months. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service personnel's possible furlough has slowed down the permit review process.
