Improving flow velocity and increasing the dredging interval is the purpose of the modeling. 4 April13,2006 Jon C. Staiger, Turrell & Associates, Inc. is in attendance on behalf of the Estuary Conservation Association for which he is a member. He supports the modeling effort and suggested the use oft-groins; and noted that it is a navigational hazard. Bill Pitman who lives on The Wiggins Estuary is a boater and tax payer that supports the modeling, keeping the waterway clean and safe for boaters. Captain John Findley is on the Board of Estuary Conservation Association and chairman of the Milestone Committee that is responsible for monitoring and recommendations. He urged the Committee to not postpone the modeling. The modeling was recommended 30 years ago, and many times since. Not all temporary markers are in place. During a period of 72 hours 4,472 boats went in and out of the Pass. Ray Vinson utilizes the boating area and finds it to be a dangerous Pass. He feels the Pass needs to be dredged today, and suggests the use oft-groins or a jetty.
