This significant project will remove approximately 80,000 cubic yards of material from two adjacent dredge areas.

In line with the MARAD and PMG commitment to environmental responsibility, all extracted material will be relocated to a beneficial reuse upland site, directly aiding the well-being of aquatic species.

The Suisun Bay Pier maintenance dredging project is expected to be completed by November 30th, 2023.
