Cashman Begins Kennebec Dredging

Cashman Dredging has begun dredging in the Kennebec River in Maine to provide draft for the new U.S. navy destroyer Spruance to move into the Atlantic Ocean from Bath Iron Works Bath Maine. The dredging had met objections from local river users but the Board of Environmental Protection and a federal judge rejected petitions to stop the work. The Spruance will be commissioned in Florida in an October 1 ceremony.
