13 L L 2 1 5 Shoreline Change SedimentationShoaling l The effects of shore erosion more significantly impact the Long Island Sound shoreline between to Norwalk and Milford than any other portion of Connecticut s coast This is due primarily the l intensity of development located in immediate proximity to the water and the highly erodible nature of beaches and their source glacial deposits The most evident recent changes in this portion of the Connecticut shoreline have taken place along the major barrier beach features l Within Bridgeport Seaside Park is the most significant site of shoreline erosion Between 1837 and 1950 minor erosional changes occurred here and major changes resulted from artificial filling and l construction in 1957 Between 1959 and 1962 variable erosion 0 to 50 feet occurred

Boulder lag deposits offshore of Grover s Hill Fayerweather Island and the headland at the East End l of Seaside Park indicate that these headlands once extended farther south than at present Their erosion has provided material for nearby barrier beaches

Stratford A at l Pleasure Beach a barrier beach protects a large tidal marsh in neighboring major jetty the southwest end of Pleasure Beach has significantly altered the natural movement of sediments along the shore in the accretion of as much as 600 feet L resulting While the unfortified shoreline of Bridgeport is eroding sediment is being deposited off shore A USGS survey l identified sand as the dominant surface sediment type along Bridgeport s shoreline A combination of gravel and gravelly sand comprises the surface substrates off l Fayerweather Island and Grover Hill with patches of gravelly sand found just offshore of West Beach and along the southern shore of Long Beach l Fishing pier at Pleasure Beach

The bottom of Yellow Mill Channel and the lower portion l of the Pequonnock River both consist of sandy silt clayey silt or silt Much of the seafloor s surface as tide moves sediment can be explained by the east to west tidal current that decreases in velocity the further west into Long Island Sound transporting and depositing fine particles in the western portions l of the Sound The sandy shoals that develop as a result of the sediment transport provide area beaches with a source of sediment

l The accumulation of sediment in the region limits vessel access in some areas and suggests the need for dredging to accommodate boat traffic

15 l l 2 1 9 Tidal Wetlands l Although there are not many tidal wetlands located within Bridgeport s coastal zone those few are an important asset to the l ecosystem and to the City s community The largest tidal wetlands are found on Fayerweather Island and at the mouth of Ash Creek see Figure 4 Several smaller tidal wetland areas are located on the east bank of Ash Creek There is also an area l of tidal wetlands at the mouth of the Housatonic River in the Town of Stratford along the eastern edge of Bridgeport Harbor l called Great Meadows U S Fish and Wildlife Service 1991

Tidal wetlands on Fayerweather Island have been preserved primarily due to the island s historic use l as a location for the Fayerweather Island Lighthouse built in 1808 not currently functioning The island is isolated from Seaside Park and is connected solely via a breakwater built between the island and the park Tidal wetlands are prominent on much of the island l Ash Creek is a 140 acre embayment The creek s mouth has several important attributes including tidal wetlands and a system of tidal creeks These attributes help to support an anadromous fish run in l the river a habitat for the resident populations of waterfowl as well as local populations of oysters and clams As part of the Long Island Sounds Study two areas of tidal wetland along Ash Creek Rooster River and Grover Hill were proposed as potential restoration sites in 2002 Long Island Sound Study l 2002b

The Great Meadows is the remnant of a larger wetland area The wetland area is presently about 680 L acres Roughly 60 of the current wetland is regularly flooded tidal marsh and the remaining 40 is irregularly flooded U S Fish and Wildlife Service 1991 The marshland is characterized by tidal wetlands tidal flats tidal creeks and a tidal embayment called Lewis Gut This area is one of the most l valuable salt marshes in the state as its productivity and general absence of mosquito ditches The Great Meadows serves as an anadromous fish run and high concentrations of shorebirds are present l here The area also contains moderate concentrations of hard clams soft clams and oysters 2 1 10 Marine Sediments

L Metals in Bridgeport Harbor s sediments vary in concentration as well as location However it is clear that for at least iron and copper the surface metal concentrations are about 3 to 6 times higher in the harbor than immediately outside the harbor Possible metal contaminants include iron copper lead l zinc and nickel There are several sources of these metals to Bridgeport Harbor

Pequonnock River l Industrial discharges Municipal wastewater l Atmospheric deposition Titus and Breslin 2002 Metal concentrations in the surface sediments towards the northern portions of Bridgeport Harbor and in the lower reaches of Yellow Mill Creek appear to be higher than in other more seaward areas of the L areas to harbor More specifically fine grained surface sediment toward the inner harbor is reported have the highest metal concentrations while coarse grained surface sediment located outside the zinc and lead l harbor s mouth is reported to have the lowest concentrations Additionally copper concentrations correlate with iron and organic carbon in surface sediments Titus and Breslin 2002 16 l l as materials would be Bridgeport Harbor has not been dredged for over 40 years any dredged of Dodd 2003 The contaminated and unsuitable for open water disposal Office Christopher existing sediment in the federal channels as well as l bathymetry of the Harbor reflecting the accumulation of bill for the fiscal adjacent to existing marine structures is shown as Figure 5 An appropriations year a for 2006 however would provide the city with 1 350 000 to continue developing dredging plan This addresses and treatment L Bridgeport Harbor Office of Christopher Dodd 2005 plan disposal Section 3 2 options for contaminated sediment from Bridgeport Harbor in l 2 1 11 Water Quality

During the l890s Bridgeport s oyster beds produced as many l as 600 000 bushels of oysters annually However due to water pollution poor natural supplies of seed oysters and the destruction of shellfish beds oyster production since has L declined significantly For example while Ash Creek had been used for seed oyster harvesting in the past pollutants from the City s combined sewer overflows have negatively L impacted this water body

Hard shell and soft shell clams can be found on either side of l the Black Rock Harbor channel north of Fayerweather Island in Burr Creek and in the Cedar Creek channel L directly southeast of Burr Creek Connecticut s shellfish areas are classified by the Department of Agriculture Aquaculture Division according to the l following six categories

Approved Area l Conditionally Approved Area Restricted Area l Conditionally Restricted Area Prohibited Area Closed Area l Due to impacted sediment and surface water all of Bridgeport s coastal waters are classified either as areas see 6 Prohibited areas are defined prohibited areas or as conditionally restricted relay Figure Division of the Connecticut of l as state waters that have been classified by the Aquaculture Department and Agriculture as prohibited for the harvesting of shellfish for any purpose other than depuration aquaculture activities A prohibited shellfish growing area is a closed area for the harvesting of L shellfish at all times except for aquaculture activities L

24 l L l 2 2 Existing Infrastructure

Existing infrastructure in the City of Bridgeport was created to support existing land and water use L which has been subject to a combination of changing economic social and demographic trends in the city and region In addition the City of Bridgeport s natural resources and the constraints and opportunities related to those resources have also played a part in determining the types of L infrastructure present in the Harbor The following sections examine the existing infrastructure currently in place in Bridgeport Harbor L 2 2 1 Channels

The port area of Bridgeport consists of Bridgeport Harbor the Pequonnock River Yellow Mill Creek L Johnson s Creek Black Rock Harbor Cedar Creek Burr Creek and Ash Creek Bridgeport Harbor and Black Rock Harbor are approximately two miles apart l The existing federal navigation project in Bridgeport Harbor was adopted on July 4 1836 The original project was modified a number of times most recently on July 3 1958 see Table 1 for details The l project included construction of the existing federal channels as well as the installation of the three breakwaters present in the Harbor east and west Bridgeport Harbor breakwaters and the breakwater installed L between Fayerweather Island and Seaside Park In 1963 construction of the channels was complete Further modification to the project may come with passage of the Water Resources Development Act of 2005 S 728 Section l 6003 a proposes deauthorizing the 18 foot channel in Yellow Mill River originally authorized by the Act of July 3 1930

L Information regarding the various channels located within these harbor areas is summarized below see Figure 7

L 2 2 1 1 Bridgeport Harbor

The major navigable channel within Bridgeport Harbor is L authorized at a depth of 35 feet This main channel varies in width as it extends upriver through the harbor The channel is 400 feet wide as it extends from the Long Island L Sound to Tongue Point The channel widens to approximately 600 feet at its bend which is located L opposite the Cilco Terminal The channel continues up the Pequonnock River where it narrows to 300 feet at a point approximately 800 feet south of the Stratford Avenue l Bridge 2 2 1 2 Pequonnock River L The Pequonnock River federal channel is approximately 1 1 miles in length and is authorized to a depth of 18 feet The channel which varies from 125 to 200 feet wide begins south of the 1 95 Bridge L and extends northward to a point located 500 feet south of the Berkshire Avenue Dam

25 L L 2 2 1 3 Yellow Mill Creek l The Yellow Mill Creek federal channel which extends northeasterly from Steel Point up the Yellow Mill Creek is authorized to a depth of 18 feet The channel is approximately 200 feet wide in its most L southerly portion but narrows to approximately 150 feet north of the Yellow Mill Bridge

2 2 14 Johnson s Creek L The Johnson s Creek federal channel is authorized to a depth of 15 feet This channel is on average approximately 250 feet wide and is located in the body l of water that extends from Pleasure Beach northeast towards Bridgeport and Stratford l 2 2 1 5 Black Rock Harbor

Black Rock Harbor is about two miles west ofBridgeport Harbor between the L mainland and Fayerweather Island The harbor proper is about one mile long 2 500 feet wide at its outer end and 250 feet wide at its head A channel 18 feet deep has been dredged from deep water in the Long Island Sound through the full length of Black l Rock Harbor l 2 2 1 6 Burr Creek

As described above Burr Creek is a cove area located within Black Rock Harbor s northwestern edge Areas of significant shoaling L exist within Burr Creek Consequently the Burr Creek cove area is relatively shallow There is no federal channel in Burr Creek l 2 2 17 Cedar Creek l Cedar Creek extends from the mouth of Black Rock Harbor in a northeasterly direction about three fourths of a mile and divides into an East Branch and a West Branch The Cedar Creek federal channel begins north of Black Rock Harbor The channel area of Cedar Creek has been dredged to a depth of L 18 feet L l l L

26 l l L 2 2 1 8 Ash Creek Ash Creek is located between the towns of Fairfield and Bridgeport L and is located west of Black Rock Harbor Only the east bank of Ash Creek is within the City of Bridgeport the western bank of Ash Creek is within the Town of Fairfield Connecticut This creek is l comprised of a salt marsh estuary located at the mouth of the Rooster River There is currently no authorized federal channel within Ash Creek

2 2 2 Major Obstructions to Navigation L Sunken vessels within the Harbor create hazards to navigation see Figure 7 There are a number of sunken vessels including multiple coal barges in the waters of Bridgeport Harbor The sunken vessels l located in the area near the railroad station in Pequonnock River pose a hazard to navigation and marine safety Additionally sunken barges in Burr Creek and Black Rock Harbor pose a hazard to l navigation Finally bridges continue to obstruct navigation see the following section for details In addition to sunken vessels and deterioratinginoperable bridges thi re is an underground pipeline maintained by Motiva Enterprises LLC that crosses Johnson s Creek Finally Connecticut Light and l Power Company is seeking a permit from the U S Army Corps of Engineers that would allow them to install an underground cable in Ash Creek If this permit is granted the project will likely create temporary obstructions to navigation in that area US Army Corps of Engineers New England District l 2005 l 2 2 3 Bridges

As the name Bridgeport suggests there are many bridges located around the Harbor Bridges that are L of relevance to daily harbor operations include the Congress Street Bridge the Stratford Avenue Bridge the Pleasure Beach Bridge the East Washington Avenue Bridge the Barnum Bridge the Peck Railroad Bridge and the Yellow Mill Bridge see Figure 7 A major obstruction to navigation in l Bridgeport Harbor is the vertical clearance limits imposed by bridge crossings Several of the bridges have created navigational obstructions due to the fact that a number of the bridges are inoperable

L P T Barnum Bridge The Barnum Bridge allows Interstate 95 to pass high over the Pequonnock River and Yellow Mill Creek The l Barnum Bridge is a fixed bridge and is high enough to pose no threat to vessels navigating either body of water It can be seen in the left side of this photo the Stratford L Avenue Bridge is in the center of the photo

Stratford Avenue Bridge l The Stratford Avenue Bridge is located on the portion of Stratford Avenue that crosses the Pequonnock River This bridge links the area known as Steel Point with downtown Bridgeport The Stratford Avenue Bridge currently has a fun time state employed operator L to open and close the bridge

27 l l

Peck Railroad Drawbridge l The Peck Railroad Drawbridge is the next bridge encountered by vessel traffic as it moves northward up the Pequonnock River This bridge is vital to local and l regional rail traffic Over one hundred trains cross this bridge with electrified rails on a daily basis This 3500 foot section of bridge serves trains on Amtrak s l Northeast Corridor and the Metro North Commuter Railroad This bridge is located just to the north of the l Bridgeport Train Station

Congress Street Bridge l The Congress Street Bridge is also located over the Pequonnock River north of both the Stratford Avenue Bridge and the Peck Railroad Bridge Of Bridgeport s l remaining historical bridges the Congress Street Bridge completed in 1911 is the oldest This bridge is currently inoperable and permanently in the open l position This allows vessel traffic to access the upper portions of the Pequonnock River however motorists on Congress Street must detour their routes in order to L cross the Pequonnock River

East Washington Avenue Bridge L The East Washington Avenue Bridge is located north of the Congress Street Bridge on the Pequonnock River The East Washington Avenue Bridge was l recently rebuilt however it is has no city employed operator and thus is permanently in the closed position Consequently vehicular traffic can cross the bridge but l vessels cannot navigate the Pequonnock River north of this bridge

L Yellow Mill Bridge The Yellow Mill Bridge is located over Yellow Mill Creek on Stratford Avenue This bridge links the east l end of the City of Bridgeport with the section known as Steel Point The bridge currently has a part time state employed operator Vessels are able to navigate the L upper portions of Yellow Mill Creek when the bridge is open however no vessel traffic can access the upper reaches of Yellow Mill Creek when the bridge is l lowered L l

28 l l Pleasure Beach Bridge l The Pleasure Beach Bridge over Johnson s Creek links the area known as Pleasure Beach with the East End section of Bridgeport The bridge is currently inoperable as a result of fire damage that occurred in 1996 Wooden l sections of the bridge were burned and the swing bridge is stuck in the open position Prior to the fire access to Pleasure Beach via l the Pleasure Beach Bridge was limited as the bridge was subject to vessel damage l Discussions about the bridge s future replacement destruction or conversion into a pedestrian fishing pier ought to consider the relevant impacts on boat traffic Bridgeport L Economic Resource Center 2005 l 2 2 4 Boat Ramps

The City of Bridgeport has numerous points of public access to l its waterfront and harbor areas The City owns several boat ramps and open space areas that provide for access to harbor areas There are currently three boat ramps located in the Harbor L that are available to the general public The City s public boat launch ramp access points are located on Newfield Avenue on Brewster Street and at Seaside Park l Photo of Seaside Park boat ramp

Plan L 3 0 Harbor Management and Water Use The Commission has prepared this section of the Plan in accordance with Connecticut General a Statutes Volume 8 Title 22a Chapter 444a Harbor Management Commissions Section 22a 113n make L Content of Plan in order to identify existing and potential harbor problems establish goals and of harbor recommendations for the use development and preservation the

l of this Plan the Strengths As stated in the introduction and outlined in the previous sections Commission recognizes and prizes the Harbor s strengths l Deep Water Port Bridgeport is one of three deep water ports in the State of Connecticut Transportation Center The confluence of transportation lines in the city including busses L trains highways and ferries is a great asset to Shipping A center for shipping Bridgeport has an existing transportation infrastructure support a robust increase in the industry industries l Water Dependent Industry Bridgeport contains several thriving water dependent that are a strength to the city and the region Water Dependent and Shoreline Recreation Existing water dependent and shoreline of the of and the citizens of the l recreation provide a benefit to both the citizens City Bridgeport State of Connecticut of and the State Shellfishing Bridgeport s shellfishing industry benefits the City Bridgeport L of Connecticut the Marine Ecosystem It is in the best interests of the citizens of the City of Bridgeport State of Connecticut and the greater region to protect and restore the marine resources in the L Harbor

Problems The Commission feels that the following problems either currently threaten the Harbor s l Harbor s in the future strengths or are anticipated to threaten the strengths l The Commission anticipates that some harbor property that accommodates deep water uses uses in the future may be utilized for non deep water The Commission believes that the City s transportation infrastmcture could be improved to l The Commission believes that the Harbor s existing infrastructure needs be adequately uses in the maintained in order to support and encourage the growth of water dependent harbor The Commission recognizes that from 2001 to 2005 the number of slips andor moorings in l The the Harbor has decreased by approximately 2 a net loss of approximately 24 slips of three decrease in the number of slips andor moorings has been caused primarily by the loss and has l public marinas Ryan s Marina Hitchcock Marine and Riverside Marina mostly a been offset by the expansion of two private yacht clubs and two public marinas As result approximately 148 public slips have been lost and replaced by approximately 124 private slips an number of L The Commission feels that a loss of public slips even if replaced by equal A private slips is undesirable and that a net loss of slips or moorings is unacceptable recreation in the continued loss of slips or moorings endangers the future of water dependent and the citizens of the State l Harbor and is a loss to both the citizens of the City of Bridgeport of Connecticut in non water The Commission is concerned that some Waterfront Property is used dependent a limited resource and its use should be l ways as Harbor accessible property is optimized l L to The Commission believes that the shellfishing industry in the Harbor needs be preserved and cultivated in new and innovative ways L The Commission believes that the existing marine ecosystem requires significant environmental protection and environmental restoration in order to restore its health

this Plan is l Goals In accordance with CGS Section 22a 113n a the Commission s goal in preparing of the Harbor while accommodating reform to preserve and foster the growth of the existing strengths l and redevelopment of the Harbor This section of the Plan is intended to guide the Commission s future actions and decisions such that L the above listed goal will be achieved This section is presented in the following way for waterfront and Section 3 1 provides an assessment of available resources properties l suggests guidelines for appropriate future re use of those properties Section 3 2 provides a list of planned harbor improvement projects l Section 3 provides a suggested list of land side improvement projects for the Harbor Section 34 presents the Commission s future vision l Section 3 5 provides guidance for implementation of this Plan for 3 1 Assessment of Available Resources for Waterfront Property and Guidelines L Future Waterfront Property Re Use

for water As stated earlier the Commission is concerned that Waterfront Property currently used deep uses in the future In addition the Commission is concerned L uses may be utilized for non deep water Commission refers to these two that Waterfront Property is used in non water dependent ways The re use The Commission has identified the following conditions as inappropriate Waterfront Property l unfavorable conditions that could result from inappropriate Waterfront Property re use

are Loss of Industry Industries that require deep water access or access to the Harbor and and the State l important to the economy of the City ofBridgeport the greater Bridgeport region of Connecticut could be inadvertently lost water access Loss of Deep Water Access Waterfront Property that accommodates deep a net loss of access to l could be permanently used for a non deep water use resulting in deep water in the State of Connecticut Loss of Harbor Access Waterfront Property that accommodates access to the Harbor could a net loss of access to the l be permanently used for a non water dependent use resulting in Harbor for the City of Bridgeport or The net loss of water access or Harbor access Loss or Damage to Natural Resources deep l can accommodate water access new sites may result in pressure to develop new sites that deep resource to citizens of the of could result in damage or elimination of a natural the City l Bridgeport and the State ofConnecticut
