Maintenance dredging Maintenance Dredging Area

Maintenance dredging included in Puerto Nuevo Channel, Puerto Nuevo Turning Basin, Graving Dock Channel, Anchorage Area E.

Delineated in the plans by hatched dredge areas.

Non-federal berthing areas (csbw) Non-Federal areas Dredging depth of 36'+2' No maintenance dredging within 25' of existing structures.

CSBW non-federal berthing area

NON-FEDERAL BERTHING AREAS (attb)

Construction dredging within 28 feet of the Puma Energy dock is required.

ATTB non-federal berthing area

Dredging near existing structures No maintenance dredging within 25' of existing structures.

No construction dredging within 50' of existing structures, with exception of PUMA Energy Dock (28’ setback).

Setback measured from the structure face at the required depth of the dredging prism.

Puma structure Dredging within 28' of existing structure.

Character of Materials

SJH Channels and Berths Uppermost layer: soft clay and silt with trace amounts of shell. Trash, debris, and rock fragments have been encountered during previous dredging.

Unconsolidated sediments consisting mostly of silt (ML) and clay (CH). Moderately hard to soft, vuggy limestone encountered at various depths below unconsolidated sediments.

Borrow Area outside Cut-6 Silty and clayey sand (SM and SC), and fine grained poorly-graded quartz sand with silt (SP-SM) with varying amounts of sand to gravel-sized shell and rock. Frequently soft to moderately hard limestone and sandstone layers present in borrow area.

See Geotechnical Data Report for more information

Potential Construction Challenges

Dredging near existing structures of unknown age and stability, vibration monitoring required Blasting is not authorized for this project

Turbidity Monitoring Station Descriptions

a. Station 1 (Compliance Turbidity at the Dredge Site): No more than 150 meters down current of the dredge or point of discharge and in the direction of any visible plume.

b. Station 2 (Compliance Turbidity at the edge of the NOAA critical habitat west of the Federal channel): Sampling is to take place within 50 feet of the sample station as shown on the plans.

c. Station 3 (Compliance Turbidity at the edge of the NOAA critical habitat east of the Federal channel): Sampling is to take place within 50 feet of the sample station as shown on the plans.

d. Station 4 (Background Turbidity): At least 200 meters up current from the dredge or point of discharge and outside of any turbidity generated by the project.

Samples to be analyzed for turbidity shall be taken a half hour after commencement of construction activities and continue every 4 hours during daylight hours only at surface and mid-depth at the locations listed above. Additional sampling shall be performed when the Contracting Officer determines that there may be non-compliance with water quality standards.
