180802 - Partial Acceptance Schnitzer Due to Shoaling Caused by Ships
180803 -
180804 - Bob Johnston asked about developing a procedure to partially accept
180805 - the Schnitzer polygon.  He explained that ships turning in the basin
180806 - cause shoaling in areas that have been dredged to grade.
180807 -
180808 -      There was no discussion of how this occurs.  Is material mounded
180809 -      up in areas dredged to grade, and/or moved/shoved by ship
180810 -      turbulence from undredged, or partially dredged areas, to areas
180811 -      that have been cut to grade?
180812 -
180813 - Shoaling is discussed in section 02480-13, ref OF 5 line 1184, and in

180817 - ref SDS 4 line 300.
180818 -
180819 - There was consideration of whether Dutra has actually encountered any
180820 - shoaling so far?  Bob said nothing specific has transpired as yet;
180821 - however, he cited Dutra's history dredging in this area shows shoaling
180822 - will likely occur due to the dynamics of ship traffic.
180823 -
180824 - Tom Benero asked how the matter has been handled in the past? Bob
180825 - recalled addressing it with the Port of Oakland.

200514 - "floaters" as cited in Dutra's 961007 letter, ref DRT 1 line 30. There
