3. BACKGROUND:
The project is located approximately five miles west of the Golden Gate Bridge in the waters leading into San Francisco Bay. Project Operations and Maintenance (O&M) provides for annual maintenance dredging to be performed on the San Francisco Main Ship (Bar) Channel to attain a 55 foot project depth at Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW). This critical channel, which is the gateway to San Francisco Bay, is 2,000 feet wide by 16,000 feet long. The Bar channel is subject to high intensity North Pacific Ocean weather and waves, and can experience hazardous sea states at any time during the year.
The project is maintained annually, typically with the Government Hopper Dredge Essayons, with disposal at a nearshore beneficial re-use demonstration site adjacent to Ocean Beach, and SF-8, adjacent to the federal channel. Typical dredged volumes are on the order of 500,000 cubic yards. This work can only be accomplished with the use of a hopper dredger. Please see the submission requirements below and respond accordingly.
