Michael will have them import if necessary good soil and rock landfill but regardless they will use the dirt from the drydock excavations to build up the land around the drydocks as well as consturct a 15x10 x10 earthen embankmank around the permiter to act as a seawall etc just in case of a major flood. That it also has a defensive purpose is icing to the cake.  What is the name of the local bank by the way? Hope your having a good day</blockquote>
