Water Resources Improvement Study, Buttermilk Bay Channel, Bourne, Massachusetts; Small Navigation Project, Detailed Project Report, and Environmental Assessment.

Abstract

This study investigates the need to construct an extension of the Federal Buttermilk Bay Channel, Bourne, Massachusetts for recreational and Navigational purposes. The recommended plan entails a channel extension 2,500 feet long of which only 300 feet would require dredging. The channel would be 80 feet wide and have a depth of -6 feet at mean low water(mlw). Approx. 1,350 cubic yards of sand and gravel and 10 large boulders buried beneath the channel would be removed. The project has a benefit-cost ratio of 1.9:1 for construction.
