In
accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the
Corps intends to prepare a Dredged
Material Management Plan (DMMP) and
accompanying Environmental
Assessment (EA). The primary Federal
actions under consideration are
dredging, dredged material placement,
and transport of dredged material for the
purpose of ocean placement and/or
upland beneficial reuse. The Crescent
City Harbor District is the Non-Federal
Sponsor (NFS). The Draft DMMP is
intended to be sufficient in scope to
address the Federal, state and local
requirements and environmental issues
concerning the proposed activities and
permit approvals.
Project Site and Background
Information: Crescent City Harbor is
located on the Northern California coast
about 280 nautical miles north of San
Francisco and about 17 miles south of
the Oregon border. The harbor is located
on the south edge of a broad marine
terrace bordered on the south and west
by the Pacific Ocean and on the north
and east by densely forested coastal
mountains. Crescent City Harbor is a
shallow-draft critical harbor of refuge,
supporting a U.S. Coast Guard search
and rescue station, commercial and
sport fishing, waterfront industry, and
recreational boating.
The harbor’s naturally crescentshaped beach is bound by a 4,700-foot
long rubble-mound outer breakwater to
the west, a 2,400-foot long sand barrier
to the east, and a 1,600-foot rubblemound inner breakwater to the south.
The harbor’s opening faces south and is
about 2,000 feet across.
There are currently three federally
constructed and maintained navigation
channels at Crescent City Harbor. The
Inner Harbor Basin Channel extends for
2,200 feet along the inside and around
the tip of the inner breakwater, where it
connects to the Entrance Channel, a 200
foot wide channel that extends 2,200
feet to the outer breakwater. The Marina
Access Channel is 140–210 feet wide
and extends 1,200 feet from the Inner
Harbor Basin Channel to the small boat
basin.
The Entrance Channel has a project
depth of 20 feet mean lower low water
(MLLW) while the interior channels,
Inner Harbor Basin and Marina Access,
have a project depth of 15 feet MLLW.
Proposed Action(S): This study report
will: (1) verify that continued federal
maintenance is justified; and (2) present
a viable 20-year plan for dredging and
disposal of materials associated with
