Port Orford is the only port in Oregon without an entrance bar condition, and the value of the port as a contributor of economic activity to the community is not being fully realized. With the wood products industry diminished in recent years, thereby making it increasingly important that the port achieve its full potential. Economic indicators are favorable for an expansion of commercial fishing and recreational boating activity in the port. The recommended project will require extensive testing in order to verify that it effectively eliminates the existing shoaling problem at the dock without affecting wave conditions. The plan will consider only those harbor improvements that would be consistent with marine activities permissible within the Port Orford Comprehensive Plan and would reduce to a minimum environmental impacts on sensitive designated Port area.
