Work on the Area 1 cofferdam on the Congaree River, near the Gervais Street Bridge, is coming along.
The first stage of the cofferdam is complete. Dominion Energy is damming the river in order to clean tar from the bottom of the river.

In June an Unexploded Ordnance Diving Team from Tetra Tech arrived to clear Area 1 from any Civil War era munitions.
