Coastal News Today | NC - Oregon Inlet and Hatteras Inlet Badly Shoaled, Dredging Coming This Month


The U.S. Coast Guard has notified the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that the two inlets along with Bogue Inlet are so degraded that the Coast Guard has no capability to perform search and rescue in the Atlantic Ocean.
At two different meetings, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced its dredging schedule to address the problem at the Dare County inlets. At both the Dare County Waterways Commission and Oregon Inlet Task Force meetings, Joen Petersen represented the Corps.
The sidecaster Merritt arrived in Wanchese Thursday, Feb. 11. The next morning, it worked for an hour on the west side of the Oregon Inlet bridge and then returned to Wanchese. Its job is to cut a pilot channel. Then the hopper dredge Merden will come from Virginia and work west of the bridge for a week, while the Merritt goes to Hatteras Inlet around Feb. 15-17 to cut a channel for the South Ferry Channel. Then, Feb. 22 to 23, the two Corps dredges will flip again.
