Purpose
Development of a new proposed environmental resource Noticed General Permit (NGP) for the West Coast Inland Navigation District (WCIND) to dredge public navigation channels and canals within the traffic sheds and secondary channel systems in Lee County. The concept for this new NGP in Lee County is based on detailed studies of the WCIND of existing traffic patterns, boat drafts and numbers, and a determination of the dredging needed to maintain existing boating use in a manner that minimizes adverse environmental impacts by following existing channels and previously dredged areas to the maximum extent practicable.
