This is correct.

That is incorrect, COE has sole responsibility of all waterways in our area; dredging is one. You boys bash CCA on one thread and want them to get involved on another, please make up your minds on this. CCA is either satan reincarnate or Moses parting the seas. No organization,church,corporation,wife or boss is going to march lock step with everyone all the time. Those who don't support CCA now never did or will in the future. So many here think they know what's going on but very few actually have a clue.

Raymond, I know at least one local refinery contributes to the dredging of ship channel. The Coe May do it, or supervise the work but there are funds coming from the local companies paying at least a share of it. I have seen the numbers.

Pretty easy to find my office, Please email or drop off those facts and figures.
1. If industry takes over dredging of the channel, the Feds will never budget money for dredging ever again.
2. If your really in the loop, you wouldn't be talking out of school on an Internet board about company policy.
3. Say the word and I will get us a meeting with the port of LC, US Fish, COE & CCA to discuss your concerns.
4. Public knowledge, requests for total dredging $$ and actual dredging $$ is never the same.
5. Please introduce yourself at the next port authority board meeting.

It's not company policy Raymond. It's pretty much common knowledge. I'll say this again... Local industry pay large amounts of money for dredging. Strictly dredging to keep the depth of the channel navigable for ships. I have no idea what you are trying to say...
Do you have any idea how much local industry pays the port of LC to dump dredging spoils in the leveed areas along the ship channel?? It's a lot!

Private industry cannot by law pay or dredge the ship channel per your earlier statements. COE has juridiction over the waterways and all dredging contracts. Who would private industry make the checks payable to? COE, Port of LC???
My offer of joining the local board so I can bring you to the Port meetings so you can actually understand what goes on is still on the table.
By the way, there are several areas on the ship channel that are in serious need of widening and deepening but due to budget limitations it will not happen. Rocking the areas previously mentioned will only happen when a certain org is able to get the COE to understand they are fighting a losing battle by dredging the same spot year after year.

Carry on

I did support CCA but do not now. It's time they start doing something besides lining their pockets and help the recreational fishermen instead of lobby against us.

Take another sip of koolade, please tell me who,when & where this occurred? You can put your $$ where your mouth is by joining the local board and then the state board to find out just where all this graft and corruption is with CCA. Bet ya don't?
