The Port has now completed the review of third party applications and, based on our review of your application submittal, your material appears to be suitable for placement within certain areas of the fill. However, at this time it does not appear that there is capacity for your material in the fill project. IFcapacity should become available, additional geotechnical data —as requested in the Port's Inter to the City dated August 26, 2010 —will need to be provided for further evaluation before the materials will be considered for future placement. Although this project was not selected for placement in the first phase of Fill, there may be additional opportunities in the future, including the second phase of the slip fill (anticipated to begin in 2014). The City is encouraged to stay in contact with the Pon regarding future opportunities and is welcome to submit an application for this material when the solicitation is released for third party material for the second fill phase. Attached is the preliminary list of projects tentatively accepted for the fill, with corresponding placement location and schedule information. The Port will be presenting the results of the application process and tentative fill plan to the Contaminated Sediment Task Force (CSTF) for comment and discussion. The Port will then consider CSTF's input and finalize the fill plan in consultation with individual applicants. The City will be notified of the date and location of the CSTF meeting once it has been scheduled. Thank you for your participation in the application process.
