Port Authority Contact Us 4250 Lake Ave. Ashtabula OH 44004 (440) 992-7118 Port Authority Home Industrial Park Port Projects Marinas and Places of Interest Port Projects Proposed Dredged Material Management Facility The Ashtabula City Port Authority, in partnership with the Ashtabula County Port Authority and Kinder Morgan, plans to seek funding through the Port Infrastructure Development Program (PIDP) grant to construct a Dredged Material Management Facility for Ashtabula Harbor. This facility will provide a long-term beneficial use solution for dredged sediments from the federal channel and private facilities that safeguards the future use of Ashtabula Harbor. To view the grant project plans click here , or provide feedback, please contact the Ashtabula City Port Authority at pa@cityofashtabula.com . Ashtabula City Industrial Park Built in 2007, the Ashtabula City Industrial Park offers 9 sites ranging from 1 to 16 acres. It is within ½ mile of a deep water port (Pinney Dock) and is traffic light-free from Route 11. Eligible companies may receive assistance from the County or City Revolving Loan Funds, Industrial Bonds, Community Reinvestment Tax Incentive and/or State Tax Incentives and Financing. More information can be found on our Industrial Park page . Transient Boat Dock The Port Authority’s Transient Dock features a free sanitary pump out station (the only one on Lake Erie), access to Bridge Street retailers and daytime docking visits (2 hour maximum). Overnight boaters will need to stay in one of the local marinas. The Transient Dock area is available for community functions as well. Dredging of the Ashtabula River In November, 2000, the Ashtabula City Port Authority agreed to serve as the Non-Federal Local Sponsor for the Ashtabula River dredging project. The plan for environmental dredging was prepared by the Ashtabula River Partnership. The project was approved under the authorization of the Great Lakes Legacy Act in 2005. Employing a dredge equipped with a 12 inch cutter head the sediments were pumped to a consolidation facility, where the sediments were contained, and the water was decontaminated and returned to the Ashtabula River. A similar dredge equipped with an 8 inch cutter head was used for both attaining final depth and cleanup standards. Following completion of the environmental dredging, Operation and Maintenance dredging was undertaken under authority of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Dredging was initiated in the fall of 2006 and completed during the summer of 2008, removing 630,000 cubic yards of contaminated sediment from the river. As a result of this project, the Ashtabula River now has a nominal depth of 22 feet, which, once again, accommodates commercial vessels for area industries. The combined projects have removed approximately 25,000 pounds of PCB’s, as well as other contaminants from the river. These two dredging projects cost about $75 million and nearly two decades of organization, planning and execution, resulting in the Ashtabula River returning to a clean harbor on Lake Erie, and a “river of many fish”. The Ashtabula River Remediation Action Plan Advisory Committee is currently working to delist the river as an Area of Concern. More information can be found about Ashtabula River 5 ½ Slip Restoration Effort here. The Manistee - The 600′ vessel unloads 7,000 tons of Marblehead limestone at R.W. Sidley’s.
