Document Description
The project is limited to the dredging of sediment from the Petaluma Marina and the Petaluma River Federal
Navigation Channel and Turning Basin. Routine dredging episodes will occur over 5 years and will encompass the
entire footprint of the Petaluma Marina and selected areas of the Federal Channel and Turning Basin as needed. It
is estimated that up to 120,000 cubic yards of material will be removed from the 7.2-acre marina during the first
dredging episode. This project includes up to five dredge episodes, for a maximum a total of 350,000 cubic yards of
sediment to be removed.
The project as amended also includes removal of six 16-inch diameter steel piles and nine 12-inch creosote treated
timber piles to be replaced with fourteen 16-inch diameter steel piles and removal of existing gangways and
adjacent structures, to be replaced with steel gangways and gangway landing platforms. The project as further
amended allows for the use of an impact hammer and/or rock socketing to drive new piles.
