<br />opportunities by providing new boating destinations,
<br />encouraging cruising, and opening up presently
<br />under-utilized fishing grounds.
<br />Providing ail the needed facilities requires fuil
<br />utilization of existing harbors and construction of
<br />about 40 miles of protective breakwater and jetties
<br />by 2020, dredging of about 28 million cubic yards of
<br />material to form navigation channels, and 230 million
<br />cubic yards to form berthing areas. Additional
<br />facilities that would be available are summarized by
<br />time frame in figure 33.
<br />
<br />Unmet Needs - Small Boat Facilities
<br />
<br />Due to the amount of non-Federal (State, local,
<br />private) investment required, construction of facilities
<br />for berthable boats and launching facilities for
<br />trailered boats in the Sacramento.San Joaquin River
<br />systems, primarily in the delta area, will probably lag
<br />somewhat behind projected needs. The projected
<br />deficiencies are:

<br />
<br />In south coastal California, the demand for boating
<br />facilities is so great that an alternative to meeting the
<br />berthing needs solely by conventional marina facilities
<br />is presented. This alternative utilizes dry-storage facil-
<br />ities for some boats, similar to pigeonhole parking
<br />structures. This is considered necessary to permit
<br />equitable use of the coastline for other important
<br />recreation activities. A shortage of transient boat
<br />moorings is expected in south coastal California,
<br />amounting to approximately 2,000 moorings in each
<br />
<br />time frame unless these moorings are developed in
<br />Baja California, Mexico.
<br />The estimated cost, based on 1965 prices, of
<br />future construction and an indication of the annual
<br />operation, maintenance, and replacement cost of
<br />facilities required are summarized by time frame in
<br />figures 34 and 35.
<br />
<br />Conclusions
<br />
<br />The conclusions reached concerning navigation are
<br />that:
<br />
<br />I. Meeting the navigation needs of waterborne
<br />commerce, which will triple in tonnage from
<br />1965 to 2020, requires an expenditure of $1.54
<br />billion ($0.38 billion Federal, and $1.16 billion
<br />non-Federal).
<br />2. Vessel development, particularly extreme draft
<br />tankers, requires special channeling programs,
<br />or offshore unloading facilities.
<br />3. Expansion of docking and land facilities,
<br />deepening of channels, and other necessary
<br />development place heavy demands on land and
<br />water resources in the near-shore areas.
<br />4. Providing the needed small boat facilities
<br />requires about a sixfold increase of those
<br />existing in 1965. Total installation cost of the
<br />additional facilities is estimated to be nearly
<br />$800 million. Under existing legai and institu-
<br />tional arrangements the non-Federal (State,
<br />local, private) portion would be about two-
<br />thirds of the total cost.
<br />5. A small fraction of the needs for small boat
<br />berthing and launching facilities in the
<br />Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta area will not be
<br />met by the plan. Another unmet need will exist
<br />in southern Caiifornia for about 2,000
<br />additional moorings for transient boats in each
<br />time frame, unless Mexico develops facilities in
<br />Baja California.
