Document Description
The USACE has been responsible for maintaining the navigability of federal navigation channels at Congressionally-authorized depths. Accumulation of sediment that settles in these channels can impede navigability. Operation and maintenance dredging removes this sediment to authorized depths to fulfill the USACE's Navigation Mission to provide safe, reliable, and efficient waterborne transportation systems (channels, harbors, and waterways) for the movement of commerce, national security needs, and recreation. As such, the USACE is proposing to continue operation and maintenance dredging to federally authorized depths at specified federal navigation channels in San Francisco Bay, and promote continued placement of dredged materials, consistent with the goals and adopted plans of the LTMS, while adequately protecting delta smelt, longfin smelt, and green sturgeon.
