Draft Integration Reevaluation and Environmental Impact Study for San Francisco to Stockton Navigation Plan report 
California Clearinghouse Summary     US Army Corp of Engineers Website Excerpt from Clearinghouse Transmittal by USACE: The San Francisco Bay to Stockton Navigation Improvement project was originally authorized by Congress in the Rivers and Harbors (R&H) Act of 1965. The study was originally scoped for a 78-mile long navigation project to include the John F. Baldwin and Stockton channels, but was re-scoped due to environmental uncertainties and a preliminary identification of marginal federal interest. The study area for this draft GRR/EIS is a 13.2 mile length of navigation channel which spans from Central San Francisco Bay to Avon Uust east of the Benicia-Martinez Bridge) and includes the Pinole Shoal Channel, and the Bulls Head Reach portion of the Suisun Bay Channel. The channels in the study area primarily serve crude oil imports and refi ned product exports to and from several oil refineries and two non-petroleum industries.
