Reconnaissance Report, Small Navigation Project Section 107, Palmetto and Soldier Creeks, Baldwin County, Alabama
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of dredging two channels; one from Perdido Bay through the inlet into Soldier Creek, and another from Perdido Bay through the inlet into Palmetto Creek. The channel dredging and maintenance of both channels were found not to be economically justified. Therefore, it was concluded that the study be terminated, and that no further studies are warranted at this time. Palmetto and Soldier Creeks are both tidal streams located in Baldwin County, Alabama, on the West Bank of Perdido Bay. The creeks flow south into Perdido Bay about six miles north of Perdido Pass. Perdido Pass connects Perdido Bay to the Gulf of Mexico. The study area is located about 18 miles west of Pensacola, Florida and 55 miles southeast of Mobile, Alabama.
