TANGIER, Va. — The Town of Tangier is seeking approval from the Virginia Marine Resources Commission (VMRC) for a series of marine infrastructure improvements at Mailboat Harbor, including installation of a new bulkhead, replacement of a commercial pier, and maintenance dredging near the Tangier Oil fuel facility.
According to a public notice issued by VMRC, the town has applied under permit #2025-1972 to construct 82 linear feet of new bulkhead, positioned no more than two feet channelward of the existing structure. The project also includes replacing an aging commercial pier and dredging approximately 1,500 cubic yards of material to maintain navigable depths of –5 feet below mean low water.
The improvements are intended to support continued safe access for vessels fueling and operating in Mailboat Harbor, a key hub for the island community.
Residents and stakeholders may submit comments on the application through the VMRC public portal at:
https://webapps.mrc.virginia.gov/public/habitat/comments
Comments may also be mailed through the U.S. Postal Service, provided they are received within 15 days of the public notice date, to:
Marine Resources Commission
Habitat Management Division
380 Fenwick Road, Bldg. 96
Hampton, VA 23651
VMRC will review all submitted comments as part of its evaluation of the proposed project.
