Welcome to the Wonderful World of Data Bases (Lessons from an Engineer Turned MIS)
The paper describes some of the problems and solutions surrounding the National Dredging Data Management System (NADDAMS). By an analysis of these problems and solutions, the authors develop...
Coastal Monitoring in Florida
There are numerous erosion control and inlet sand transfer projects, both publicly and privately financed, along eroded or eroding shores throughout the State of Florida. The Florida Department...
Los Angeles-Long Beach Harbor Complex 2020 Master Plan

Contained Dredged Material for Open Ocean Disposal
An intensive series of investigations were conducted on the sediments deposited in Craney Island, a 1012 hectare contained disposal facility in the Port of Hampton Roads, VA. Geographic...
Dredge Material Evaluation Through Harbor Characterization in New England
The New England Division (NED) of the Corps has recently developed a broad based methodology for simultaneously evaluating dredging projects that are in close proximity and which would...
The Maryland Dredge and Fill Permit Process Handbook
The current dredge and fill permit process in Maryland has become a complex procedure involving many agencies from each level of government. The process by which a permit is obtained for...
Sand for Beach Nourishment in Lower Chesapeake Bay
The Virginia Institute of Marine Science designed and performed an inventory of the resources of sand in the southernmost portion of Chesapeake Bay. The primary purpose of the project...
Modification of the Sedimentary Environment During Construction of the Hart-Miller Island Diked Disposal Facility
The state of Maryland contracted for the construction of a diked disposal facility. Research investigations were conducted to assess the impact of the dike construction on the environment...
The Suwannee River Estuary: Cohesive Sedimentation
Cohesive sediment dynamics as effected by salinity intrusion are described for the Suwannee River Estuary, a large estuary flowing over the very shallow limestone shelf of Florida's...
Tidal Inlet Sand Transport in Rollover Pass, Texas
For Rollover Pass, which is a man-made, artificially stabilized tidal inlet located on the upper Gulf Coast of Texas, the magnitude of the net sand transport through the Pass was estimated...
Innovative Engineering Completes Dredge Spoil Disposal Facility
A large dredge spoil facility was completed for the Fort McHenry Tunnel that received 3.5 million cu yds of dredged material, and was constructed so that it could be converted into a port...
Dredge Spoil Disposal Predictions and Performance: A Case History
A 146-acre dredge spoil disposal facility was constructed in Baltimore Harbor that received 3. 4 million cubic yards (2. 6 million cubic meters) of dredge spoil generated from construction...
Perspectives on Modelling Consolidation of Dredged Materials
The physical and mathematical aspects of this problem are highly nonlinear and material-property relationships extend beyond the scope of standard geotechnical engineering. The potential...
Sedimentation and Self Weight Consolidation of Dredge Spoil
Test results suggest that self weight consolidation begins when an interface forms in the settlement column and the slurry reaches a critical concentration as a result of the solid particles...
Dredged Slurry Stabilization for Seagirt Marine Terminal
The Seagirt Marine Terminal is constructed on reclaimed land on dredged spoil from the I-95 Fort McHenry Tunnel in Baltimore, Maryland. Three stabilization procedures considered applicable...
