The City of Warrenton Marinas is very excited to begin dredging the Hammond Marina on November 1st 2020! This project is a huge accomplishment for our City and essential for the continued use of the Hammond Boat Basin & Launch. Due to the location of the basin, we are limited to a 60 day dredge window and limited to ebb tide dredging. Due to these limitations, dredging may occur during any ebb tide day or night until December 31st, 2020 to complete as much work as possible. There may be lights and noise from the construction during this time.
