If the grain size of the dredged material underneath the slip is determined to be suitable for beach replenishment, it’s a simple project. There are approximately 1,200 residents along the harbor and many need to dredge small amounts around their slips, but exactly how many is the “million dollar question to the equation.”Ī percentage of those residents can just transfer the material onto the beach (after going through the proper process). Miller suggested the city contract a marine company to maintain the scow. Painting and taking anti-corrosion measures could be approximately $15,000 to $20,000 per year. The city also needs to take into account the reoccurring costs for maintenance, Miller pointed out.
“This proposal is to satisfy the need for our residential dredging needs,” Miller said.Ī few of things to consider include the initial capital investment, which could cost between $850,000 to $1 million (depending on the capacity of the scow) to build and transport to Newport Beach.
