BCI was contracted by the City of Palm Bay to conduct a maintenance dredging project on the upper reach of Turkey Creek to remove the majority of the sandy sediments from the area. The study objective was to attain sufficient depth to provide navigation access from the Indian River Lagoon to the Turkey Creek Sanctuary.
Options for the permanent disposal of the dredged materials were to use an existing disposal site about three miles away or to create a new disposal site in closer proximity to the canals. There was a special emphasis on the beneficial reuse of sediments. Once complete the project improved public navigation in Turkey Creek and increased tourism.
