Airport Opportunity • RWSA has talked to Airport Authority • Issues from Airport Authority Perspective - FAA funding is critical - FAA has not approved a runway expansion, and there's no guarantee they will - FAA would require competitive bidding for structural fill - no assurance RWSA would win bid - Airport considering new technology options that may eliminate need for runway expansion
Dredging for Water Supply • Five million cubic yards in first 50 years • After 50 years, must continue to dredge sediment coming into reservoir to maintain supply
Dredging for Water Supply • Provides 5.5 MGD of added safe yield if continuously maintained • 50-Year Plan requires 9.9 MGD almost twice what dredging can supply
Dredging for Water Supply • Variables Affecting Cost - Marketability vs. Disposal -
Land for Dewatering and Disposal Hydraulic Dredging Costs Dewatering Costs Trucking Costs
- Contract and Other Administrative Costs
Dredging for Water Supply • Lowest Cost Achieved by: - Pumping Shortest Distance - Minimizing Pumping Height - Avoid Rehandling After Dewatering
Dredging for Water Supply • Dredging is NOT Less Expensive Than Ragged Mountain as Water Supply 1.726 BG
0.900 BG

NOTE: Fly-In Various Estimates as this graph is displayed and point out that all of them are significantly beyond $19.4 Million
$19.4 Million
$ 37.2 Million
Things to Consider in Dredging • Recommend Addressing Separate from Water Supply • Consider Community Acceptability - Industrial Operation, Noise
Things to Consider in Dredging • Consider Community Acceptability - Truck Traffic - Gannett Fleming Numbers
Things to Consider In Dredging • Where Will Dewatering Operation Occur? - Describe Land Criteria - Relatively Flat Area, etc.
