Application of a Management Strategy for Dredging and Disposal of Contaminated Sediments to Proposed U.S. Navy Homeport Project at East Waterway, Everett Harbor, Washington
The U. S. Navy proposed to homeport a Carrier Battle Group, and requested technical assistance from the Seattle District, U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, to evaluate dredging and disposal...

Beach Stabilization Design
There is a need for aesthetically pleasing and environmentally satisfactory solutions for protecting, renovating and restoring eroding semi-protected coastal beaches such as those found...

Concrete Armor Mats: Large-Scale Wave Tank Tests Wave Stability Tests
Concrete mats provide an alternative to the more conventional shoreline stabilization techniques. Material requirements are low, placement techniques are straightforward and they tend...

Parameters Controlling the Success of Dune Revegetation at King Salmon, California
An eroded 9. 3 ha (23 acre) sand spit was restored through jetty construction and fill (using dredge spoils) by the Corps of Engineers at King Salmon on Humboldt Bay, California. An experimental...

Identifying DepositionalAreas in Puget Sound
Depositional areas where fine sediments accumulate have been located through low-cost sediment studies instead of more costly current meter and settling trap measurements. Over 200 samples...

REMOTS?: Reconnaissance of Benthic Environments
REMOTS(REGISTERED TRADEMARK) technology, a combination of sediment-profile photography and computer image analysis, was developed to address shortcomings in traditional benthic sampling...

Monitoring of Water Quality During I-664 Dredging
Construction of Interstate Highway I-664 across Hampton Roads involves extensive underwater work and consequent risk of lowered water quality. This paper described field monitoring procedures...

Beach Preservation by Means of Offshore Submerged Mound of Dredged Materials
The beach - sediment - dispersion- offshore or alongshore under the effect of waves and wave induced currents, and inland by wind action may cause a net deficit in sediment budget which...

Evaluation of Sand-Filled Containers for Beach Erosion Control: an Update of the Technology
The use of large, sand-filled geotextile containers for coastal erosion protection has increased along Florida's ocean shorelines over the past five years. Technological advances...

Major Offsite Mitigation: Batiquitos Lagoon
This paper discusses the general characteristics of the Batiquitos Lagoon Enhancement Project near Carlsbad, California, which will provide mitigation for a pipeline project in San Pedro...

A Comparison of California's Coastal Programs
California is the only state that has two distinct coastal management programs for two different geographic segments of the state's coastal zone, with each program administered...

Territorial Sea Management by the State of Oregon
The institutional capability of the State of Oregon to manage the territorial sea under its jurisdiction recently was examined by the authors. Oil and gas development, marine mineral mining,...

Management Responses to Technical Uncertainty
Recent attention to management and regulation of contaminated waste materials has served to heighten awareness of the role of technical uncertainty in regulatory decisionmaking. Two distinct,...

The ARC Reefs: Designed Artificial Reef Systems
Results of laboratory tests and preliminary results of field tests indicate materials and designs incorporated in The American Reef Corporation (ARC) designed artificial reef structures...

Oil and Krill: From Lab to Nature
Bioassay tests were conducted on Arctic krill, the euphausiid Thysanoessa raschii, using water-soluble fractions of Prudhoe Bay, Alaska crude oil. Experimental results indicated that larval...

Development of a Coastal Oil Spill Model
An integrated coastal oil spill model (designated 'SMEAR') is being developed for Minerals Management Service, Alaska, with broad application to all coastal environments....

Mitigation Features for Marinas
The John Wayne Marina was permitted for construction only after certain design features were altered to accommodate major biological and water quality concerns. The moorage basin was relocated...

Innovations in Dredged Material Disposal in Puget Sound
This study, known as the Puget Sound Dredged Disposal Analysis (PSDDA), is building on a strong history of federal/state cooperation within Washington which is unique in the United States....

Economical Solutions for Dredged Material Disposal
During the 1970's, the State of Wisconsin expressed concern about contamination of dredged materials and the deposition of pollutants into Wisconsin's Great Lakes...

Tiered Sediment Quality Evaluations for Dredging Projects
Sediment and water quality are evaluated frequently for U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (CoE) dredging projects to assess potential biological effects, as required for compliance with environmental...
