There, the contractor Bergerson Construction Inc. pumped out years of sedimentation at the Pacific Port of Alsea. The marina is mainly used by locals and tourists for leisure activities as salmon fishing, crabbing and kayaking. After years of winter storms, the port needed some maintenance dredging done as part of a larger marina improvement project. The maintenance dredging job encompassed removing some 13.000m3 (16.500 CY) of sand, at a maximum dredging depth of -2m (6 ft).
