The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is resuming their dredging operations in the Ocean City Inlet this month.
The vessel is expected to be in the resort city for a month after beginning its dredging operations in late April.
The Salisbury Daily Times reports that the dredger is expected to scoop out up to 40-thousand cubic yards of sand which accumulates as it moves south towards Assateague Island.
The dredging is usually done twice a year and clears out the sediment in the inlet area.
