Poplar Island in 2005

Poplar Island in 2005

Poplar Island in 2005.

Federal and state officials selected Poplar Island in the 1990s as a dumping site for material dredged from the shipping channels approaching Baltimore (dredge soil from Baltimore Harbor is polluted and is not being used in Poplar Island). This would allow restoration of the island while keeping the Chesapeake's deep-draft shipping channels open, maintaining Baltimore as a major port, and halting the earlier practice of open-water dumping. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers began reconstruction of the island in 1998 with the erection of dikes to contain the dredged material.
