Water quality testing pe~formed pursuant to the Corps of Engineers and California .Regional Water Qu~li ty Coritrol Board permitting re~uirements found the ~aterials to ·be suitable for disposal at SF-1 t as proposed. 2. Questions have been raised about continuing to dispose of dredged material in San Francisco Bay. lt is anticipated the currently approved in-Bay sites will reach capacity within ten years. Howeuer, the current lack of suitable upland disposal ~ites or EPA/Corps approved offshore disposal sites severely limits the options available for disposal. Through participation in the Fe~eral/State Jo~nt Long-Term Management St~¢~ being conducted to identify and eva~~a~e site options for the disposal of material dredged from San Francisco Bay, the State Lands Commission has emphasized the need to focus on the selecti'on of upland and ocean dispo~al ~ite{s). This need has also been expre~sed by concurrence with San Francisco -2- ' '' - ~~ l "\ ', ' CALENDAR ITEM N~ 4: ~CONT'D) Bay Conservation and Devel~pmenl Commission (Sf"BCOC) and its proposed 1e~,..;.c:_1ation ·to authorize. the San f"ranci s co Bay Regional Dredging Plan. Identification and evaluation of alternate disposal sites will require numerous studies at a cost of seve~al million dollars. Because ongoing in-Bay disposal contribut~s to the eventual obsolescence of in-Bay si~es, ~nd the nee~ to d~uelop oth~r altern8L1v~~. a fe~ will be charged as a condition to the proposed permit to be disposited in a fund to of'fset the cost ·of needed studies. 3.
