Corps Unveils San Pedro Bay Dredging Plan

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Los Angeles District, has unveiled a plan for the San Pedro Bay dredging program.

Disposal of the dredged material will be either upland, near shore, or offshore at an EPA approved ocean disposal site.

The estimated cost of this project is between USD 1 mln and USD 5 mln, and the approx. duration of the work is three months.

During the San Pedro Bay dredging venture, 80,000 to 350,000 cubic yards of material will be removed from the mentioned areas.
