This US Army Corps of Engineers, Savannah District project included a diversion structure on the Savannah River, several channel improvements features, and two cut closures along Middle River and Little Back River. The 275 LF long diversion structure consisted of steel sheet piles along with erosion protection walls along the north and south riverbanks. Stone toe scour protection was placed along the length of the structure. Channel improvements consisted of dredging McCoy’s Cut, Little Back River, and Middle River for a total distance of 19,500 LF to depths ranging from -7 ft to -14 ft. Dredged material was pumped to create 9 acres of wetland at McCoombs Cut and Rifle Cut. Two closure structures of rock and recycled concrete were constructed and armored with stone at the ends of the cuts. The site is completely within the bounds of the Savannah Wildlife Refuge and was only accessible by water. Customized push boats and marine equipment were constructed to navigate the river with drafts in areas as low as -1 ft MLLW and transit on the river is obstructed by the Houlihan Bridge.
