Coastal & Port Engineering Considerationsof the Jacksonville Harbor Deepening Study
Physical Impacts
1. River hydraulics (flow, levels & sedimentation)Deeper, hydraulically-efficient artificial channel -- increases upstream salinity -- increases water levels -- changes flow patterns

Physical Impacts
1. River hydraulics (flow, levels & sedimentation)Deeper, hydraulically-efficient artificial channel -- increases upstream salinity -- increases water levels -- changes flow patterns
2. Storm water levels-- Tide ranges increase up to 0.4 feet-- Storm tides not described

Physical Impacts, Cont’d4. Salinity
-- The Corps claims that natural changes in salinity cause more stress than the project’s changes.-- The impacts are real, but not clearly presented-- Fish & shrimp studies etc. are still ongoing

5. Ship Wake and Bank Erosion-- Corps study claims no increase in ship wake, but that is based upon the current design vessel.-- Deeper channel Bigger Ships Greater Ship Waves
970’ ship length at 15 knots: wake = 3.7’1260’ ship length at 15 knots: wake = 6.8’ (84% increase)
970’ ship length at 10 knots: wake = 0.4’1260’ ship length at 10 knots: wake = 1.0’ (150% increase)

6. Offshore Disposal Area-- Construction requires disposal of 18 million
cubic yards (mcy)-- Existing offshore disposal area capacity =
3.3 mcy-- Expanded offshore disposal area close to
sand borrow areas.

Fiscal Impacts
1. Initial Construction CostFed: $350M (48%) Local: $384M (52%)
2. Maintenance Dredging Costs-- Fiscal projections are not included in report-- Local cost-share increases from 0% to 50% !
Dredging requirements will increase by 130,000+ cy/yror, about $1.2M per year.
Probable annual dredging req’t = 1,540,000 cy/yrProbable equivalent total cost = $14 million / yearProbable NON-FEDERAL cost = $7 million/year.
