[Duluth, MN] -  The public is invited to an information meeting hosted by the City of Duluth, with speakers from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, to learn about proposed plans for dredging the harbor and placement of the materials for beach nourishment near the Wisconsin Entry.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will discuss their 2019 plans dredging the Duluth-Superior Harbor navigational channel and placing the clean sediment along Minnesota Point near the Wisconsin Entry as a means to temporarily protect the beach against shore erosion. Following the presentation there will be an opportunity to ask questions about the proposed project. Staff from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, MN Pollution Control Agency and the City will be available to help address questions.
