Regulation: The Unsolved Dilemma
Over the years, the impact of governmental regulatory agencies has severely restricted industrial and commercial development in southern New Jersey. Recent Federal reviews of these regulations...

Cooperative Maintenance Dredging: a Strategy for Small Harbors
In a response to the continuing overall significance of harbor activities and the recognition of less than optimal existing harbor maintenance procedures, the feasibility of a cooperative...

Environmental Legislation Impact on the Port of New York and New Jersey
Environmental legislation since 1972 has resulted in an extensive evaluation of dredged material disposal alternatives for New York Harbor navigation projects. Consideration has been given...

After Industry Capability Program
This paper presents information on the dredging work split between the government and industry since the end of the Industry Capability Program (ICP) in Fiscal Year 1981. A long-term look...

Report on Task Committee's Scope and Findings
A Task Committee for the Design of Outlet Control structures studied the state-of-the-art practices concerning the hydraulic function, water quality, public safety, maintenance and aesthetic...

Safety, Maintenance, and Aesthetic Considerations Associated with Outlet Control Structures for Stormwater Detention Ponds
