This paper summarizes the plan formulation process that served as the basis for recommending proposed navigation improvements for the Port of New York and New Jersey. The recommended project consists of deepening several channel segments within the Port of New York and New Jersey to a controlling low water depth of 50 feet. The total cost of the recommended plan is about $2.3 billion and is comprised of dredging and dredged material disposal, various improvements to marine terminals within the port, relocation of specific utility lines, and environmental mitigation. The plan formulation process involved selecting the optimal number of channel pathways and the optimal depth for each pathway.
