A Navy contractor could start dredging Anaheim Bay toward the end of this year, which will kick off a $154-million endeavor by the U.S. Navy that will allow larger ships to dock at Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach.
A contractor could start dredging Anaheim Bay toward the end of the year, kicking off a $154-million endeavor by the Navy that will allow larger ships to dock at Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach.
Seal Beach’s primary missions are to store ordnance for the Navy and Marine Corps, load and unload ammunition and maintain weapons on warships departing San Diego.Increasing the depth of Anaheim Bay’s turning basin to accommodate the amphibious assault ships that carry Marines, armored vehicles and aircraft is a priority. These ships currently have to be resupplied at sea by Marine helicopters off Camp Pendleton.
To allow vehicles to access the new wharf, the Navy will build a causeway across the east side of the bay and create a new public navigation channel for Huntington Harbour.The Navy closes Anaheim Bay to public boating traffic while ships are entering or leaving the base. The base closed the harbor to civilian craft for about an hour Aug.
“Construction of the causeway will not be started until completion of the new public boat navigation channel, so there will always be a way for civilian small craft to transit Anaheim Bay,” Smith said. “We are also working with the Coast Guard to make sure that navigation aids are in place when the new channel opens.”
Some residents are concerned about noise created by dredging and pile-driving, said Kalmick, who’s been assured the latter will be conducted only during regular working hours. Nighttime dredging will not be allowed within 1,000 feet of the nearest residence. In 2010, Anaheim Bay dredging claimed a good amount of eelgrass and the Navy subsequently reached an agreement with the National Marine Fisheries Service and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to restore the damaged habitat.
