Pass a Loutre Freshwater Diversions: Marsh Building in the Mississippi River Delta
Concern about the rapid loss of wetlands within the Pass a Loutre Wildlife Management Area located at the mouth of the Mississippi River has resulted in implementation of the Pass a Loutre...

Agricultural Nonpoint Source Control Program for Lake Erie
The Lake Erie Wastewater Management Study was directed at identifying and quantifying sources of P and sediment entering the lake, developing a management control strategy, and projecting...

Nourishment of San Luis Beach, Galveston Island, TX
It has been proposed that one way of stopping shoreline retreat and protecting the foot of the Galveston Seawall is to nourish the complete length of the beach in front of the Seawall....

Quantification of Net Shore-Drift Rates in Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fuca
The objective in this study was to determine the annual rate of net shore-drift at selected sites within Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. These sites were selected based on...

Inlet Dredging Production as a Function of Sea State
This paper attempts to explain some of the inaccuracies and discrepancies in present methods of measuring dredging volumes and looks at a comparison of measured dredge volumes to natural...

Predictions of Shoaling Rates for a New Harbor in Puget Sound, Washington
Physical and numerical modeling methods were used to predict shoaling rates in the proposed Naval Station Puget Sound, Washington. A simple analytical model (SILTHAR), based on the premise...

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...

Cause and Elimination of the Deflation Zones Along the Atlantic City (New Jersey) Shoreline
After recent construction of several large hotels and apartment buildings directly fronting the Atlantic City boardwalk, large blowouts were observed to occur during the winter season...

Numerical Solutions for Problems Related to Nearshore Morphology?!
In the development of numerical models of nearshore morphology various steps can be envisaged: 1. initial models: the initial bottom topography remains unchanged; spatial variations in...

Wetland Enhancement Near Columbia River Mile 68
The May 18, 1980 and subsequent eruptions of the Mt. St. Helen's volcano, and consequential ashy river sedimentation have caused major changes to a wetland adjacent to Carrolls...

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...

Natural Stabilization of an Eroded Permafrost Site
The paper referred to in this abstract discusses the erosional processes during and after the initial failure, proposed solutions to repair and stabilize the site, and details of the performance...

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...

Molluscan Communities of Laguna Madre, Texas: Man's Impact
The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that due to human intervention the two parts of the Laguna Madre now differ in molluscan species composition and the most heavily-impacted...

Rediscovery of the Lower Duwamish River Estuary Solutions to Pollution by Point and Nonpoint Source Controls
Beginning in 1960, a series of point-source pollution controls, new sewage interceptors and treatment plant upgrades dramatically improved conventional water quality parameters in the...

Technique for Assessing Estuarine Sediment Pollutants
A technique was developed for the Mississippi Sound whereby all pertinent scientific data could be gathered and be assimilated in a format that would permit sediment pollution to be assessed...

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...

Building Around a Building
Many, maybe most, construction disasters occur as the result of the failure of temporary structures. Despite the fact that temporary structures have a critical effect on the speed, safety...

Strengthening Old Floors
The floors of the historic City Hall and Courthouse in Minneapolis had withstood 80 years of hard use before they have to be analyzed and brought up to code. The building is about 300...

Nitrification in a Salt Wedge Estuary
Autotrophic nitrifying bacterial activity and numbers were measured in a salt wedge estuary receiving ammonium-rich effluent from a municipal secondary wastewater treatment facility. Instream...
