The subcommittee recommended the Task Force to review its workplan to see if it can modify some of the deadlines that were identified for some of the subcommittee tasks to provide more time for reviewing the subcommittee products. Comments on the Implementation Subcommittee workplan are due by October 22 to Jim. Aquatic Disposal and Dredge Operations Tony Risko indicated that no workplan is yet available from the subcommittee since the September meeting had been cancelled. Catherine Tyrrell requested that he have one ready by the end of the month. Subcommittee Reports Upland Disposal and Beneficial Re-Use See above workplan summary and discussion of Proposition A funds.
Implementation See above workplan summary.
Depending on the extent of the comments, the plan is scheduled for adoption at the Regional Board hearing in December. The plan, based on updated information from California Department of Fish and Game and recent monitoring data, has been revised and identifies coastal toxic hot spots within Ventura and Los Angeles Counties, including the areas on which the Task Force is working. Port of Long Beach's Pier T project Tom Johnson discussed the status of the Pier T project. About 1 million cubic yards of material is unsuitable for ocean disposal, so POLB proposed a confined aquatic disposal site, which had received approval from the Regional Board and the Coastal Commission. The Corps' application had been withdrawn and resubmitted to include the two other alternatives.
