AIWW / IWW Overview in Jacksonville District • Jacksonville District has authorization to maintain all 370.9 miles of the AIWW and IWW. • Divided into reaches, typically by County. • Dredging is determined via condition surveys to determine where the most significant shoaling is occurring. • Federal Channel with a “low use shallow draft” designation = No Federal funding. • FIND will be taking the lead until Jacksonville District receives additional Congressional Adds. • Corps will not even be able to perform condition surveys.

Continued lack of adequate funding for dredging operations to fully maintain the waterway as authorized: 12’/10’ Deep x 125’ Wide. Pot of money that can be used for waterways such as the AIWW/IWW? Economic impact of not maintaining the waterway? Tourism. Real estate values. Regionalization pros & cons. One Voice/consistent message. Loss of institutional knowledge (State issues/regulatory).
