Los Angeles River Estuary Maintenance Dredging Project

Los Angeles River Estuary Maintenance Dredging Project

The Los Angeles District, Corps of Engineers (Corps), as a part of its continuing program of regular maintenance dredging, proposes to remove up to approximately 20,000 cm to sediment from the mouth of the Los Angeles River Estuary (LARE). The material will be dredged and disposed by using a clamshell dredge in combination with disposal barges and backhoes. There are three options to dispose of the dredge material which include: 1) side casting the material within the channel to be disposed of on a later date, 2) placing it in the near shore at Junipero Avenue in the City of Long Beach, or 3) disposing the material in the L.A. Borrow Pit. Dredging and disposal operations are expected to occur in the end of March/early April 2005.
