H&L Contracting, LLC performed the work under an $8.9 million USACE contract, with the Town of East Hampton cost-sharing $1.1 million. The project deepened the channel from -12 to approximately -17 feet, removing about 87,000 cubic yards of sand and 10,000 cubic yards of clay. Dredged sand was placed on the shoreline west of the inlet jetty for beneficial re-use, with a permit modification from NYSDEC.
