FY20 Quillayute Hydraulic Maintenance Dredging Project Details:

Seattle District requires maintenance hydraulic dredging of approximately 60,000 cubic yards of sediment from the Quillayute River outer and inner channel and access lanes of the boat basin and disposal of the dredged material at two nearby designated placement sites (Site A and Site B). The purpose of the project is to ensure a navigable waterway for the USCG and Tribal fishing fleet in the Quillayute River Federal Navigation Channel.

The dredging depth is 10 feet with an additional 2 feet of allowable overdepth. The dredged material in Site A shall be confined in a basin surrounded by a berm constructed from onsite material by the Contractor. Dredging shall be accomplished by a minimum 12-inch or larger diameter (measured at the discharge pipe), hydraulic pipeline “mechanical” cutterhead suction dredge. “mechanical” refers to the method of agitation or breaking up of consolidated bottom sediment. Water jets or augers (such as but not necessarily limited to horizontal cutterheads) are not an acceptable alternative.  The Quillayute River current velocities can average 3 knots during a regular ebb tide and increase to 4 knots or more during periods when the river is running high from a storm and/or flood event. Additionally, large woody debris (trees with root balls, etc.) and other obstructions and natural and anthropogenic debris frequently in the river during storm and flood events. Dredging and placement will occur during storm and flood season.
