COLUMBIA RIVER – WASHINGTON – BAKER BAY WEST CHANNEL – Shoaling
The USACE conducted a survey in Baker Bay West Channel, WA on the Columbia River on 12 Sep 11. Severe shoaling has been found between Baker Bay West Channel Daybeacon 6 (LLNR 14430) and Baker Bay West Channel Daybeacon 7 (LLNR 14435). The survey indicates shoaling ranges from 0 to 5 feet on the north side of the channel. The controlling depths for this area is between 12 and 15 feet. Mariners are advised to transit on the south side of the channel in this area.
The survey also found shoaling between Baker Bay Channel Light 8 (LLNR 14440) and Baker Bay Channel Light 10 (LLNR 14450). The controlling depths for this area is 12 to 15 feet, but the survey indicates an average depth between 5 feet to 10 feet with the shallowest depths concentrated IVO Baker Bay West Channel Daybeacon 9 (LLNR 14445) of 5 feet center channel.
All mariners should exercise caution when transiting IVO Baker Bay West Channel Daybeacon 6 (LLNR 14430) to Baker Bay West Channel Light 10 (LLNR 14450), especially during periods of low tide. For more information, contact Mike Ott with the USACE at (503) 808-4348.
