Oyster Point Tenants:
Beginning June 1, 2010 Ghilotti Bros./Cooper Crane JV will begin dredging the East Basin Berthing Area. The dredging is scheduled for 60 days, ending on July 31, 2010. August will be limited to a post dredge survey and possible cleanup. Approved hours for dredging operations will be limited to the hours from 7:00 a.m. through 7:00 p.m. seven days per week. There may be vessel traffic out-of and back-into the marina to dump the final load after close of daily dredging.

The project is scheduled to begin in the fairway between Dock 13 and 14, and move towards Dock 11 one fairway at a time. Vessels on Dock 14 will be relocated during the week of May 24th, and earlier if possible. The objective is to have Dock 14 cleared of all vessels for start of dredging June 1st. I will try to give up to two-week notice to tenants for vessel moves, but will not be able to anticipate the schedule until after dredging begins. During relocation phone and cable service will not be available, therefore the contractor and staff will work to minimize any inconvenience.

If you have any questions contact Assistant Harbormaster Charles White or myself. Harbormaster’s Office phone number is 650-952-0808. Unfortunately my current assignment as Harbor Master of both Oyster Point Marina and Pillar Point Harbor may carry through this project. If you have concerns that require my immediate attention, staff will contact me to facilitate a prompt reply.

Sincerely,
SAN MATEO COUNTY HARBOR DISTRICT

Harbor Master
