| In the 1990's costs to clamshell dredge the San Rafael Creek
were $8.40 - $10.00 per cubic
yard. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| In the
1990's Canalways owners received 3 estimates of $2.00 -
4.00 per cubic yard to suction pump Canal spoils to
the Canalways site. |
|
| If savings
and environmentally beneficial spoils reuse is important, shouldn't the
Canalways site be cost effectively utilized for spoils placement and land
creation? |
