Ventura Harbor Maintenance Dredging

Ventura Maintenance Dredging: The annual maintenance dredging of Ventura Harbor results in the dredging of the federal navigation channel and sand trap, with placement of suitable dredge material on nearby downcoast South Beach, McGrath State Beach or in the nearshore (or both). Dredged material would not be placed in the mouth of the Santa Clara River or its estuary. Amount of dredging is dependent upon federal funding, which can vary for each dredge cycle. The typical range of quantity that is funded is 350,000 cubic yards to 750,000 cubic yards per dredge cycle. The proposed 3 year Ventura Maintenance Dredging contract contains a base dredging period (1st cycle) and two option periods (2nd and 3rd cycles), with a completion time of approximately 60 days per dredge cycle. The contractor needs to have the capacity to dredge approximately 20,000 cubic yards per day. The first cycle dredging of Ventura Harbor is scheduled to occur in Winter 2021.
