The ability to fund dredging of the two-mile federal channel and interior basin, as <br />well as proper disposal of the dredged materials has not been financially positive for over 10 <br />years. Prior to 2005, the City was able to effectively lobby the federal government for funding <br />to dredge the channel.

Since 2003, the Shoreline <br />Enterprise Fund has paid interest only on the City’s two General Fund loans. <br />The last dredge of the federal channel, which was only a partial dredge, occurred in 2009 at a <br />cost of $2,146,500 (federal grant). The dredge spoils were placed in the City’s upland Dredge <br />Materials Management Site (DMMS, located adjacent to and south of Estudillo Channel), but <br />the estimated $2.5M needed for removal and disposal, which would need to be paid for by <br />City funds, was never funded.
