DELAWARE AND CHESAPEAKE
CANAL
E~xcavating For Sea Level Canal Now
Progressing

AC5S
The eXcavating being carried on be-
tween St. Georges and Chesapeake
City, Nd, for the removal of 100000
cubic yards of earth as the first step
in the project of the enlargement of
the Chesapeake and Delaware canal, IS
one-tenth of the work required on the
Deep Cut section. A total of $780,
900 cubic yards of material on this
section will have to be removed. There
is a total of 16, 900, 900 cubic yards of
earth to be removed from the water
way to secure a depth of twelve feet
of the entire length of the canal at
low tide.
Upon the completion of the Deep
Cut section, the next step Will be on
the summit level, with either ten feet
or twenty-five feet of earth to be re
moved. This will be followed by the
removal of the locks at Delaware City
and the lowering of the sills Of the
locks at Chesapeake City.
Two gates will then remain, n at
the Delaware City end and the other
at the Chesapeake City end. In order
to then reach a minimum depth OF
twelve feet at low tide, another thlr-
teen feet will have to be dredged from
Delaware City to Chesapeake City.
This will then permit the removal of
the locks at each end of the waterway
and then the stream will become an
actual sea-level canal between the two
bays.
The approved project Of the canal
provides for a depth of twelve feet
and a bottom with ninety feet. 1t IS
proposed to carry on the work OF I'M
provement so that traffic will not be
interrupted. This will require the
work of reconstruction to commence
on the summit level and to be followed
bv the removal of the locks as the
canal is gradually d%eepened.
In order to economically dispose OF
the soil from the excavation it will bt

a width of ninety feet is sufficient To-

between the two bays will be carrle'
