C&D Canal: DRAFT RESTRICTIONS REMOVED (per USACE)- Surveys were conducted 17 and 18 December for the first 17,000 feet of the canal, excluding the entrance flares. The object originally identified on centerline is no longer there. Additionally, an object seen Monday was not in the same location yesterday (18 Dec). That object is currently ~75` from the northern edge of the channel, at a minimum depth of 34.5` MLLW.
In summary, whatever is there appears to be shifting with tide cycles and not affixed to the bottom.
Based on information supplied by USACE, the MAC will remove any recently recommended draft restrictions for Canal traffic.
