Good afternoon,
And it is a "good" afternoon because the Walter Slough dredging is FINISHED! Marcol
Dredging, overseen by Southern Dredging, completed all dredging work late last week and our
survey office told me today that the District has accepted the after - dredge survey as being
indicative of completion. Marcol is demobilizing theioff Island D and should be done by the
end of this week. Southern Dredging is dredging the federal channel adjacent to Isl D in the
next few weeks, so activity will continue on the island. Our inspectors will continue their
Quality Assurance reviews, so there are still opportunities to go to Island D for anyone
who'd like to go.
Thanks to you all for your assistance and the sharing of your comments and observations on
both the unauthorized activity and the window extension. If there are any questions or you
need more info, including pictures, please don't hesitate to contact Jessica Mallindine or
me.

Subject: Walter Slough Coast Guard Window Extension Request (UNCLASSIFIED)
Importance: High
Classification: UNCLASSIFIED

All,
1

On Monday, many of you were contacted to discuss a window extension at Walter Slough Coast
Guard channel. The current window identified in the Coast Guard Regulatory and CAMA
authorizations is February 14th. Due to mechanical and weather delays, the contractor has
requested an extension through the end of the month with completion by February 28th. The
contract currently has an estimated 8000 cy of material within 1600 linear feet of the
project. Allowing a two -week extension is believed to be an aggressive deadline for the
contractors to meet. The Corps is concerned that without completion of the dredging the Coast
Guards ability to utilize the channel will be inhibited to a degree at which it would impact
missions. We are hoping to resolve the window extension ( whether it is allowed or not) prior
to the window closing on February 14th. I apologize for the need for a fairly quick response
but appreciate the coordination efforts.
