Land Application of Dredged Material at Port Manatee
Maintenance dredging of approximately 600,000 cu yd of highly plastic clay was conducted in October 1983. This material was deposited on a nearly 200 acre tract of farmland in a depth...
Modeling the Drying of Dredged Material
The drying of dredged material was modeled mathematically as a diffusive process and the governing equation was solved using an integral method. Closed form solution equations are presented...
Efficiency of Capping Contaminated Dredged Material
The ability of capping with sand to chemically and biologically isolate contaminated dredged material was investigated using large scale (250 l) laboratory reactor units. Tissue analyses...
Long-Term Planning for Dredged Material Disposal
The dredged material produced from maintenance of the channel in Upper Mobile Harbor (UMH) is disposed into confined upland disposal areas provided by the project's local...
Long-Term Maintenance Dredging PermIts--Florida's New Approach to Regulation and Its Implications for Federal, State, and Local Reforms
Florida has developed a long-term maintenance dredging permit process to reduce problems in obtaining regulatory approvals. Under Florida's new program, the term of the permit...
Draghead Designs vs. Production
