Strong's Yacht Center
5780 West Mill Road
Mattituck, NY 11952
Dear Mr. Strong,
As you requested,we investigated very thoroughly with at least 4 different barge companies about the
possibility of removing approx. 135,000 yards of sand or any significant portion of this amount by barge
from your Strong's Yacht Center marina on Mattituck Inlet in relation to your proposed building project.
To be able to answer this question, we did a very detailed draft soundings from the Inlet entrance to
your marina. Those draft findings I emailed you on 4-10-2020. Unfortunately all of the barge companies
came back with the same answer,the Inlet is not deep enough nor wide enough to safely accommodate
the size barges that would be required for this project. We need a bare minimum of 10 foot of draft at
low tide and you can see in the report we do not have that in many areas. We are also very concerned
about the sharp S turns as you enter the Inlet first and second corner bends,these are very tight and
would not allow the width or depth necessary to safely navigate these areas.
I am sorry we could not provide you a barging solution that is viable for this project for the reasons
stated above .
Sincerely,
�f
Keith Haney
