THE MARINE HIGHWAY



DEMONSTRATION PROJECT




The Port is a partner of the newly opened Marine Highway Demonstration
Project, known as M-580. The marine highway allows containers to be kept on
the water, all the way to the Central Valley before transferring cargo to trucks or
rail, thereby reducing truck traf c within Northern California. The M-580
project, a collaborative effort between the U.S. Maritime Administration
(MARAD) and the Ports of Stockton and Oakland, was successfully launched in

June 2013 to address truck traf c and air pollution as well as help grow
business and increase revenue.


Transporting goods by way of a marine highway is a much cleaner solution for
our environment, reducing emissions by 80 percent when compared to truck
transport. Transporting cargo by barge helps to not only reduce air pollution,
but also fuel consumption. In addition, marine transport increases highway

safety by reducing truck traf c on congested Interstate 580.

HABITAT RESTORATION







ANTIOCH DUNES NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE
Antioch Dunes is the only place on the planet home to the endangered Lange’s
metalmark butterfly. The dune habitat has been severely impacted by human

development over the past 100 years including the use of sand from the dunes to
rebuild San Francisco after the devastating 1906 earthquake and fire. Now, an effort is
underway to restore the sand dune habitat to allow for the continued survival of the
endangered butterfly. The Port took the lead to acquire the permits to place dredged
material at the site, prepped the site to accept the material and coordinated with the
other partners to implement the project. In October 2013, the Port and its partners,
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, began preparing the
Antioch Dunes National Wildlife Refuge site to receive sandy dredge material as part of
their unique restoration project. This season 40,000 cubic yards of clean sand was

placed at the site that will be shaped into dunes. “This project has been in the works for
several years and is really a win-win for all the agencies involved,” said Louis Terrazas, a
wildlife refuge specialist for the USFWS. The sand will recreate the natural dunes which
support three plants; the naked stemmed buckwheat needed by the butterfly and also
the endangered evening primrose and Contra Costa wallflower. The project is
anticipated to continue annually over the next 10 years. “The Port is responsible for
locating placement sites for dredged material and the Corps is responsible for keeping

the channels at the authorized depth,” said Gary Kamei project manager for the Corps.
“To their credit, the Port of Stockton coordinated with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife for
sand placement and made this happen—it was their idea!”
