San Pablo Bay and Mare Island Strait, which are located in Solano County, California, provide deep-water access to the Suisun Bay Channel and the Ports of Sacramento and Stockton. This project provides for maintenance dredging of (1) a 600-foot wide channel to a depth of 35 feet Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW), which is approximately 11 miles long, in San Pablo Bay across Pinole Shoal with a maneuvering area adjacent to Oleum Pier at the mouth of Carquinez Strait; (2) a 600-foot wide channel to 30 feet MLLW through Mare Island Strait, flaring to a turning basin generally 1,000 feet wide, from former dike number 6 to within 75 feet south of the causeway between Mare Island and Vallejo; (3) a channel to 30 feet MLLW up the Napa River, except (4) at the northerly end, at the City of Vallejo Marina, where the project depth is 26 feet MLLW.
The project is maintained annually, typically with the Government Hopper Dredge Essayons, with disposal at SF-9 and/or SF-10 adjacent to the federal channel. Typical dredged volumes are on the order of 250,000 cubic yards. This work can only be accomplished with the use of a hopper dredger. Please see the submission requirements below and respond accordingly.
