FISCAL IMPACT:
$500,000.00. Budgeted. Funded by the California Department of Boating and Waterways grant, Surrendered and Abandoned Vessel Exchange (SAVE) and the General Fund.
BACKGROUND:
The waterways in and around Contra Costa County have long been used for the illegal dumping and sinking of abandoned and derelict vessels of all sizes and types. If allowed to remain, these vessels are often hazards to safety, navigation, wildlife, and are hazardous to the environment. Many vessels are carrying hazardous materials. The vessels adversely impact residents, commercial, and recreational boaters in and around Contra Costa County.
