The Port of Redwood City has applied to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, San Francisco District, for a 10-year Department of the Army Permit to carry out maintenance dredging of accumulated sediment at the Port’s Berths 1-4 located on the tidal portion of Redwood Creek on the western shoreline of south San Francisco Bay, San Mateo County, California.
Disposal of the dredged sediment from the proposed dredging project would involve aquatic disposal, beneficial reuse, and upland placement as appropriate. The purpose of the proposed maintenance dredging is to restore the Port’s Berths 1-4, totaling approximately 5.2 acres, to their original project design depths to allow safe navigational depths for commercial vessels berthing at the Port.
