Article Excerpt:

Dredging in the Nissequogue River is scheduled to begin this week. Earlier in September, Town Board members in a 4-0 vote (Councilman McCarthy was absent)  granted the necessary approvals to Suffolk County’s Department of Public Works allowing them to commence with the necessary dredging. 

The dredging will begin in the Nissequogue on October 1 and finish in Stony Brook Harbor and Porpoise Channel at the end of March 2014. 

According to Department of Environment and Waterways Director Russ Barnett,Russ Barnettdredging will take place in the existing navigation channel located in the Nissequogue River and the adjacent area of the Long Island Sound. The channel will be dredged to a depth of six feet. “We’re very pleased that we have been able to successfully work with Suffolk County to get both channel systems dredged this winter. It’s a tremendous investment in favor of Smithtown residents” said Barnett.
