The cavalry' saves Humboldt Bay

摘要

Bar busters: A season of storms and heavy sediment runoff made the Eureka bar even more treacherous than usual. But in mid-April, it was announced that "the cavalry's on its way."That quote, attributed in a press release to Peter Mull of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, refers to a Corps dredge that was due to arrive in Humboldt Bay by May 10.Paid for through $7.5 million in federal funding, dredging between the north and south jetties at the bay's mouth will remove about 20 feet of siltation.
