Small-Boat Harbor Dredging, St. Paul, Minnesota (Harbor Dredging)
Location/Description
|
The St. Paul Small-Boat Harbor is on the lower end of Harriet Island in St. Paul, Minnesota, at Upper Mississippi River mile 839.7 on the right descending bank. The length of the harbor is 2,375 feet; the width varies from 200 to 400 feet. The Corps of Engineers is authorized to maintain the harbor to a depth of 5.0 feet below low control pool elevation of 687.2 msl.
The city of St. Paul is the non-Federal sponsor for the project and is required to furnish a suitable placement site for the dredged material. The city or its designated operator, the St. Paul Yacht Club, is responsible for all docks and similar facilities at the harbor. The harbor is designed for use by small recreational craft.
Since 1990, the St. Paul Small-Boat Harbor has been dredged on 13 occasions. An average of 8,800 cubic yards is dredged per event. The project was last dredged in 2006. The St. Paul District provided funds for dredging in 2002, which was the last year reprogramming funds was allowed. In 2001 and 2006, the city of St. Paul performed dredging at its expense because Corps of Engineers funding was not available.
|
Status
|
Original construction of this project was completed in 1949. A project condition survey was completed in February 2008; it indicated the need for dredging. The project area upstream of the Wabasha Street Bridge was dredged in August 2008 to the authorized depth and width to remove 14,769 cubic yards of material.
|
Authority
|
Rivers and Harbors Act of 1945; House Document 547, 76th Congress, 3rd Session
|
Fiscal
|
Operation and maintenance of the project is funded under the Corps of Engineers’ Civil Works Operation and Maintenance appropriation. In fiscal year 2008, Congress appropriated $186,000 to fund maintenance dredging at the St. Paul Small-Boat Harbor. The dredging accounted for $133,525.50 and approximately $20,000 will be used in fiscal year 2008 to study the feasibility of reducing future dredging requirements. The remaining funds will be carried over into fiscal year 2009 to continue the study.
