A draft restriction was put into effect Aug. 31 after four to six feet of fine-grain sediment was deposited near the entrance to the Corpus Christi Ship Channel, Army Corps of Engineers officials said.</p><p class="p-text">"What we're doing right now is the contractor is dredging that (material), and it's difficult for us to estimate the completion and full reductions until we can kind of see some (dredging) production rates," said Col. Lars Zetterstrom, district commander for the Army Corps of Engineers' Galveston District. <span class="exclude-from-newsgate">He was in Corpus Christi for a special port meeting on Wednesday.</span></p><p class="p-text">"This is not normal material that we would encounter and dredge," Zetterstrom added.</p><p class="p-text">The draft restriction was just one of several implemented by the Coast Guard in the days after Harvey, at one point a Category 4 hurricane, passed through the area.</p><div class="partner-placement partner-spike"></div><p class="p-text">The Coast Guard also mandated that only one-way transits be conducted, while also requiring a minimum of two pilots for each transit. Those transits can only be made during daylight hours<span class="exclude-from-newsgate">, as well, according to a safety bulletin posted on the Coast Guard website</span>.</p><p class="p-text">"The Coast Guard has opened the channel to 43 feet — not the full depth yet," said John LaRue, Port of Corpus Christi executive director.</p><p class="p-text">The entrance to the port has an approved depth of 47 feet, so the new sediment has restricted that by several feet. The result is that ships unable to accommodate the shorter draft can't get in or out of the channel.</p><div class="partner-outstream"></div><p class="p-text">Andrew Smith, resident engineer for the Army Corps of Engineers, said crews were still dealing with water pouring out of the ship channel that continues to deposit new sediment. The issue is "a direct result of the storm," Smith said.</p><p class="p-text">"What all that means is it may be a little bit longer than standard dredging until that water stops pouring out," he said.</p><p class="p-text">Zetterstrom estimated the dredging would take "maybe three to six months," adding that it will take time for material to actually flow through the channels. </p><p class="p-text"><span class="exclude-from-newsgate"><strong>More:</strong><a href="/story/news/local/2017/08/31/harvey-2017-port-corpus-christi-reopens-lucrative-ship-channel/621746001/" target="_blank">Harvey 2017: Port of Corpus Christi reopens lucrative ship channel</a></span></p><p class="p-text">Dredging work to have the ship channel entrance restored to its approved depth is separate from a proposed $32.2 million expansion project the Port Commission approved on Friday. That project is the first phase of a massive $327 million undertaking that would ultimately deepen most parts of the channel to 54 feet, though the entrance would be deepened to 56 feet.</p><p class="p-text">In addition, there are plans to widen the ship channel and create natural barriers or beneficial use sites within the channel from material that is dredged, officials have said.</p><p class="p-text">The port has pledged $102.4 million toward the entire project. Officials hope the federal government will fulfill its promise to fund the remaining $224.5 million. The ship channel project has been in the works since 1990, when Congress gave approval to begin studying possible channel improvements.</p><p class="p-text">The commission last week approved a Project Partnership Agreement between the port and Army Corps of Engineers that outlined cost-sharing levels for the entire project. It also allowed the port to provide "accelerated funding" for at least the first phase — the $32.2 million entrance deepening and expansion — and up to $102.4 million to get the project moving forward after nearly 30 years of waiting.</p><p class="p-text"><span class="exclude-from-newsgate">"To me, that indicates how strongly they are in support of this project if they're willing to contribute these funds in an accelerated manner and provide those funds to the district so we can begin overseeing these construction contracts to be able to get this project completed as quickly as possible," Zetterstrom said.</span></p><p class="p-text"><span class="exclude-from-newsgate">LaRue reiterated his belief that the expansion could benefit the port and its oil exporting customers. The goal is to have the entire project done within three to four years, officials have said.</span></p><p class="p-text"><span class="exclude-from-newsgate">"We think from a strategic point of view, as far as projects that you can look at across the United States, this one makes more sense than any because it's all about exports," LaRue said. "We are the No. 1 crude exporting port in the United States right now."</span></p><h2 class="presto-h2"><span class="exclude-from-newsgate"><span class="print_infobox">Related</span></span></h2><p class="p-text"><span class="exclude-from-newsgate"><span class="print_infobox"><strong>More:</strong><a href="/story/news/local/2017/02/04/experts-more-ship-traffic-warrants-channel-improvements/96968648/" target="_blank">Experts: More ship traffic warrants channel improvements</a></span></span></p><p class="p-text"><span class="exclude-from-newsgate"><span class="print_infobox"><strong>More:</strong><a href="/story/news/special-reports/energy-effects/oil/2016/02/18/port-studies-corpus-christi-ship-channel-improvements/91339932/" target="_blank">Port studies Corpus Christi Ship Channel improvements</a></span></span></p><p class="p-text"><span class="exclude-from-newsgate"><span class="print_infobox"><strong>More:</strong><a href="/story/news/special-reports/building-our-future/growth/2017/09/01/port-makes-first-move-327-million-channel-project/624753001/" target="_blank">Port makes first move in $327 million channel project</a></span></span></p><div id="module-position-QpNqym4CCQc" class="story-asset inline-share-tools-asset"><div class="inline-share-tools asset-inline-share-tools asset-inline-share-tools-bottom"><span
