Material actually removed, within the limits approved the CO, to provide for final side

Description

Option 3 Disposal Area C2, D, D1, E, F, G, & H

Please clarify if Area C2 is correct to be included in the Phase 2 Work (placement into the SBOBA), which will happen in 2023. However, this area is already part of the Base – Phase 1 work that will happen in 2022 that will go to HARS.

Presently there is uncertainty regarding the time-line associated with obtaining approval from regulatory agencies for use of SBOBA. It is most likely that material from Area C2 will go to the HARS.

However, should the government obtain the required SBOBA approvals prior to the completion of the AREA C2 dredging then it is possible that the government could exercise Bid Option #4 in time for the material to be placed in SBOBA in lieu of the HARS.
