ISSUES AND OTHER INFORMATION
- The Port of Richmond is the Non-Federal Sponsor (NFS).
- This project did not receive funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), Title IV, Pub. L. No. 111-5, 123 Stat. 115, Feb. 17, 2009.
- The Santa Fe Channel is no longer maintained due to unsuitable material, stemming from an upstream EPA Super Fund site.
- The outer harbor is historically dredged annually with the Government dredge Essayons. Due to regulatory restrictions permitting only one project utilizing a hopper dredge per year in SF Bay, Richmond outer harbor and San Pablo Bay Pinole Shoal are now on an alternating bi-annual cycle. Richmond outer harbor was last dredged in 2018, and is planned for 2020. Accordingly, Richmond Outer Harbor will likely be deferred in 2021.
