ISSUES AND OTHER INFORMATION
Congress authorized additional funding of ~$19M in FY22 for direct upland placement of dredged material to cover the costs above the federal standard disposal costs for any contributing projects. The District will utilize those funds until exhausted for direct upland placement of material from Richmond and Oakland dredging episodes in FY23 and FY24. For FY23 all materials dredged from both harbors will be placed upland under the FY23 contracts. For the FY24 dredging episodes, final material volumes placed upland will be subject to availability of remaining funds from the initial FY22 funding appropriations.
