Above is one image from the proposed plans to turn the Lynnhaven Boat Ramp into a Dredge Spoil Transfer Station too.

The current info available includes:
+ Western Branch of Lynnhaven needs dredged
+ The facility proposed for the Boat Ramp could be permanent or temporary
+ Facility could be in use from 6 months – 2 years – undetermined
+ Barges docking at the facility could be 40-65 feet long
+ Unclear how long barges would block boat channel while unloading
+ Unclear who company would be who would operate barges, dump trucks & facility
+ Dump trucks operating from the facility could be 40-60 on any given day
+ Dump trucks would follow gravel path in above image & share Boat Ramp with other traffic
+ Dump trucks would carry material to an existing facility located near Oceana Blvd
+ Time of year facility would be in use is unclear
+ One lane of the Lesner Bridge would probably be closed for trucking operation as has been done in the past
+  Opinion of various regulatory agencies that need to be involved is unclear
