Coastal Marine referred us to Prosperity Dredging. They were <br />contacted, but they were not available to do this work either. <br />In research staff found that there are some permitting exemptions <br />if the canal was constructed prior to 1970. Staff then contacted <br />Mr. Dan Noble who originally developed Rockridge and put in that <br />canal. Mr. Noble claimed that Mosquito Control put that canal <br />in about 1956 and stated he had asked them to widen it and dig it <br />deeper in the '60s. They had a problem hitting rock when they <br />dredged it in the late '50s, and Director Davis understood there <br />was a court case on the dredging of that land but was unable to <br />find any transcript of it. He emphasized that he has tried to <br />research and help get this accomplished, but it has been very <br />difficult to find a dredging contractor not only for this project <br />but also the one at the Wabasso Causeway. <br />Chairman Scurlock asked if it would be fair to say the <br />silting has been a consequence not only of natural happenings but <br />also possibly from construction of the 17th Street Bridge and <br />even the bridge across on Indian River Boulevard. <br />Director Davis didn't believe the Indian River Boulevard <br />bridge had a major impact because we profiled the channel before <br />the bridge was built and found the problem at the mouth of the <br />river. He felt there could have been some minor siltation from <br />that bridge, and we can certainly go in and clean it out in the <br />vicinity of the bridge, but he did not feel we can go into the <br />mouth of the river with our equipment and crews. <br />Commissioner Eggert asked about cost, and Director Davis <br />stated that based on bids for the Wabasso dredging, he believed <br />we are talking about $4 to $6 a cubic yard. He estimated to <br />dredge the canal would involve approximately 200 yards about 15' <br />wide and 3' deep, or about 9,000 cubic yards, which would be <br />around $50,000. <br />Robert Bogar, 52 S. Harbor Drive, Fairlane Harbor, noted <br />that he is one of those who sold aboat out of frustration. His <br />APR 12 1988 <br />20 <br />8001 72 PACE 20 <br />
