(a) Dredging in this part includes the physical action of removing sediment from the basin and any associated actions, such as engineering, permitting, dredge-material management, and other actions or costs that occur because of the dredging. Dredging can qualify as an eligible action under the grant only if the costs for the dredging-related actions do not exceed $200,000.
(b) When you complete the project, the BIG–funded dredged area must:
(1) Have navigable water depth to accommodate eligible vessels as described at § 86.13(a)(6);
(2) Allow safe, accessible navigation by eligible vessels to, from, and within the BIG–funded facility; and
(3) Allow eligible vessels to dock safely and securely at transient slips.
(c) You must show in the grant application that:
(1) Dredging is needed to fulfill the purpose and objectives of the proposed project; and
(2) You have allocated the dredging costs between the expected use by eligible vessels and ineligible vessels.
(d) You certify by signing the grant application that you have enough resources to maintain the dredged area at the approved width and depth for the useful life of the BIG–funded facility, under typical conditions.
