Draft Detailed Project Report and Draft Environmental Assessment. Neah Bay Navigation Improvements, Neah Bay, Washington

Abstract

Conducted under Section 107 of the 1960 River and Harbor Act, the Corps of Engineers study determined the feasibility of Federal involvement in constructing navigation improvements to service a proposed public commercial fishing marina at Neah Bay on the Strait of Juan de Fuca in northwestern Washington. The recommended plan includes (1) a Federal breakwater consisting of 1,450 feet of rubble mound and a 350-ft-long grounded bridge pontoon, (2) a Federal entrance channel authorized to 15 feet deep, (3) moorage facilities to service 200 commercial fishing boats, (4) non-Federal dredging and disposal of 50,000 cubic yards of material as pontoon ballast and beach nourishment, and (5) fish passage opening and removal of intertidal fill. Construction cost estimate (Oct 1996 prices) is $8,190,000 including Federal cost of $3,475,000 and $4,715, 000 by the Makah Indian Tribe.
