The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says that it has resumed the removal of sediment in Braddock Bay in Greece this week and expects to continue that operation throughout the rest of the month.
The sediment removal is part of the Corps of Engineers’ ecosystem restoration project currently underway at the bay. As part of the overall project, the Corps of Engineers has previously completed construction of a barrier beach and an emergent wetland.
Officials say boaters should use caution when traveling through the area since the sediment removal involves the use of large equipment in Braddock Bay.
"Public safety is extremely important to us," said Sheila Hint, project manager with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Buffalo District. "We encourage boaters to pay close attention to all markers and signage, and to move cautiously through the area while construction is underway."
