The Craney Island Dredged Material Management Area is a 2,500-acre confined dredged material disposal site located near Norfolk, VA. Plans for the site were developed in the early 1940s to provide a long-term disposal area for material dredged from the channels and ports in the Hampton Roads area. As dredge material dries, it shrinks and takes on the look of parched land. Craney Island (080213-A-5177B-011) by norfolkdistrict
