PORTSMOUTH, Va. – Norfolk District employees prepare to tackle the shorelines of Craney Island for Clean the Bay Day on Craney Island by stocking up on trash bags and putting on bug repellent and gloves. This group was among 23 employees and family members who participated in this year's Clean the Bay Day. Clean the Bay Day is a statewide initiative organized by the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, in conjunction with municipalities, businesses and government agencies working together to restore the Chesapeake Bay and its rivers and streams. Every year since 1989, thousands of citizens throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia have dedicated their time to clear litter from waterways. Norfolk District's contribution each year is to remove debris from the shorelines of the Craney Island Dredged Material Management Area, which is operated and maintained by the district. CIDMMA is a 2,500-acre confined dredged material disposal site on the north side of Portsmouth, Va. It serves as an economical and environmentally sustainable repository for material dredged within the federal waterways of the Hampton Roads harbor. ( Army photo/Pamela K.
