Records from the Corps of Engineers tabulating the dredged volumes
from the various channels in Humboldt Bay from 1931 through 1983.
U.S. Army Engineer District, San Francisco. (1950). "Survey Report Humboldt
Bay California: Appendix I, Shoreline Changes."
Predates the examination by Nobel (1971) but provides a good collection
of charts of the entrance of the bay over time.
U.S. Army Engineer District, San Francisco. (1969). "Review of Reports on
Humboldt Bay California for Navigation."
A good review of the data and previous studies. Analyses of the benefits
and costs of channel improvements and deepening.
U.S. Army Engineer District, San Francisco. (1976). "Environment Statement:
Navigation Channel Improvements Authorized for Humboldt Bay, Humboldt
County, California."
Analyses of proposed improvements and the environmental effects.
U.S. Army Engineer District, San Francisco. (1979). "Reconnaissance Report
for Beach Erosion Control in the Buhne Point/King Salmon Area, Humboldt
County, California."
Since waves propagating through the entrance are the cause of the
erosion at the point, there is some information on the inlet operation and
dynamics in the report. Local sediments and shoreline processes are
addressed.
U.S. Army Engineer District, San Francisco. (1979). "Reconnaissance Report
Humboldt Harbor and Bay, Review of Reports."
Not reviewed. An updated review of reports for projected future
projects.
U.S. Army Engineer District, San Francisco. (1989). "Humboldt Harbor and
Bay (Deepening) Investigation Reconnaissance Report."
Provides a preliminary study for channel improvements. Summarizes
much of the physical and sediment data for the bay.
U.S. Army Engineer District, San Francisco. (1989). "Humboldt Harbor and
Bay (Deepening) General Investigations Reconnaissance Navigation Study,
Humboldt County California."
Follows the reconnaissance report and provides more sediment data,
including cores and borings.
