ISSUES AND OTHER INFORMATION
Congress authorized additional funding of ~$19M for direct upland placement of dredged material to cover the costs above the federal standard disposal costs for any contributing projects. The District is in the planning process for utilizing those funds for Richmond Harbor and Oakland Harbor disposal at a currently permitted upland beneficial re-use site for the FY23 maintenance dredging cycle.
