One foot of allowable overdepth dredging will be considered as part of the contract dredging pay prism for a total allowed depth of -48 feet MLLW, respectively. Dredged material generated by the project is expected to be placed at Norfolk Ocean Disposal Site (NODS) located in the Atlantic Ocean approximately 50 nautical miles from the dredging site. No more than 100,000 CY may be required to be placed at the Craney Island Rehandling Basin (CIRB). Dredging is estimated to generate approximately 760,900 CY of pay volume for the total dredging effort. The Contractor shall be responsible for the following: dredging within the designated areas to the proposed required and allowable pay depths, placing the material in the designated Government-furnished placement site(s), and communicating with the Port of Hampton Roads maritime users to minimize impacts to vessel traffic, adjacent utilities, and dredging operations. 2.
