CEMEX Construction Materials Terminal Project

CEMEX Construction Materials Terminal Project

The California Department of Fish and Game is executing a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement number 1600-2006-0211-R2 pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to the project applicant, Port of Sacramento. Dredging is required to relocate a cement terminal to a parcel adjacent to the Port of Sacramento as part of the City of West Sacramento's Redevelopment Plan. The project involves dredging the bank and bottom of the Sacramento River Deep Water Shipping Channel (a commerce waterway excavated from uplands) to allow room for ship docking and construction of dock. Dredged material will include sediments and soil from the Channel and will total approximately 97,000 cubic yards. The dredge tailings will be placed across the channel from the Study Area at the Port's "S-1" upland disposal site. Rip-rap will be placed along 800' of the dredged shoreline to control erosion from 0' to the top of the bank. Concrete and steel pilings totaling about 4,860 sq. ft. will be permanently placed along the Channel bank to support a dock and access bridge. The current shoreline in the project area is a rip-rap slope with no wetland or riparian vegetation. Previous site use of the project area was a wood chip manufacturing facility and much of the surrounding area harbors industrial facilities. Cement storage, mixing, and distribution facilities will be built in the upland portion of the site after the waterward work is complete.
