Dredging to begin in upper bay
From Staff Reports
Tuesday, June 30, 2009 | No comments posted.
A dredge crew soon will be scooping up silt from the Coos Bay shipping channel in the upper bay.
Workers on an American Construction dredge out of Everett, Wash., prepared the bucket and dredge crane while docked near the Georgia-Pacific lumber mill in Eastside on Monday. The crew will be removing muck in Coos Bay between river mile markers 12-15.
John Craig, Coos Bay project manager for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, said they will start in the upper end of the bay near the Coos Bay Boardwalk on Wednesday. In an earlier release, the Army Corps said the contract will remove 800,000 cubic yards of material from the bay bottom.
If the company dredges at private docks it would be after it completes the federal project, and would involve separate contracts with each dock owner/operator, said Martin Callery, the director of Communications and Freight Mobility for the Oregon International Port of Coos Bay.
The Army Corps also authorized maintenance dredging this year for ports at Florence, Winchester Bay, Bandon, Port Orford, Gold Beach and Brookings.
