Port of Hueneme Contaminated Sediment Dredging and Confined Aquatic Disposal Site Construction
Document Type
JD - Joint Document
Received
Present Land Use
The project site is an artificial harbor owned by the Oxnard Harbor District and the U.S. Navy.
Document Description
The proposed project entails creating a Confined Aquatic Disposal (CAD) site within the Port of Hueneme as a regional tool for contaminated sediment management. The Oxnard Harbor District (OHD), U.S. Navy (USN), and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) are all responsible for maintaining authorized depths in different parts of the Harbor. Some of these maintenance materials are known to be contaminated with chemicals including pesticides, tributylin (TBT), and polychlorinated (PCB). Initially the goal for the project was to dispose of contaminated sediment from the Harbor at a nearshore fill site planned by the Port of Long Beach (Pier J South); however, the project was indefinitely delayed due to environmental and logistical concerns unrelated to the Port of Hueneme project and leaves no other feasible options for the material except to truck it to a Class III landfill.
