Notes:
During construction, what I want to show you here are some effects from sedimentation, as well as turbidity. This is a figure showing sedimentation rates, the darker areas indicate higher levels of sedimentation during construction. The light pink line around the dredging areas indicates an estimate of where sedimentation might occur over the six-year construction period at any given time. We do not see any overlap at Coyote Point or at Alameda.
There is some potential sedimentation that could occur at the Bay Farm Island site. The currents right there are very strong and the sedimentation rates that are predicted are between about zero and five millimeters over a given month. Given the strong current conditions in that area, we do not expect to see sedimentation occurring at a rate that could cause burial of those beds.
