Performance of a Beach Nourishment Project Based on Detailed Multi-Year Monitoring: Redington Beach, FL
A recent monitoring project of a beach nourishment project includes closely spaced profiles and sediment analysis which provides data on nourishment performance which can be used in management...
The Use of Aragonite as an Alternate Source of Beach Fill in Southeast Florida
The first full-scale use in the United States of imported aragonite sand for beach restoration was initiated at Fisher Island, Florida, in December, 1990. The project involved placement...
Cross-Shore Sediment Transport Determined by EOF Method
Laboratory and field data of beach profile changes are used to study the cross-shore transport rate. The Empirical Orthogonal Eigenfunction analysis is applied to separate the temporal...
Higher Frequency Acoustic Measurements of Coarse Bedload Transport
Although sensors have been developed which provide high temporal resolution for the measurement of wave profiles, flow fields and suspended sediment concentrations within the coastal system,...
Integrated Photogrammetric and Geophysical Monitoring of Shoreline Instability in Littoral Cells in the Pacific Northwest, USA
Several factors have recently focused on the attention of government agencies, academic researchers, and the general public on coastal erosion and beach resource management in the Pacific...
Coastal Sediment Budget Analysis Techniques
Sediment budget analysis techniques developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wilmington District are described. The basic procedure combines information on shoreline and tidal inlet...
Coastal Process Study on Beacon Shoreline
A sediment budget was developed for the Santa Barbara and Ventura County shoreline in Southern California as part of an overall coastal planning effort. The budget was analyzed primarily...
The Santa Cruz Littoral Cell: Difficulties in Quantifying a Coastal Sediment Budget
Beach compartments or littoral cells form the framework for our understanding of the sources, transport, sinks, and storage of sand in the nearshore zone. In general, along the California...
Waenhuiskrans: Sediment Budget and Reactivation of a Sediment Pathway
Erosion of beaches due to historical dune stabilisation work carried out at Waenhuiskrans, a holiday village on the south-east coast of South Africa, prompted the need for the reactivation...
The Ebro Delta Project: A First Sediment Budget
In this paper, a sedimentary budget for the Ebro delta coast in the Western Mediterranean is presented. Calculations have been performed after one year of field campaign. The main result...
Characteristics of Colloids in Landfill Leachate
Leachate was collected from a municipal landfill which has been closed for about 15 years. The sample was collected (under a N2 atmosphere) only...
Screening Level Modeling in Support of an Estuarine Toxics Management Program
Mathematical models will be used in the future to determine maximum allowable pollutant loading rates for several toxics to the South San Francisco Bay Estuary. This project consisted...
Reuse of an Industrial Wastewater at Saturn
The cooling tower at General Motor's Saturn Plant in Spring Hill, Tennessee will produce blowdown wastewater at rates as high as 500,000 gallons (1893 m3/day)....
Preliminary Investigation into Using Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP) for Real-Time Control of Aerobic-Anoxic Sludge Digesters
This research explores the use of Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP) to control an Aerobic-Anoxic Sludge Digestion Process. It compares a Fixed-Time Control reactor (3 hours of air on/3...
Composting, Past, Present and Future
Over the past ten years, the composting process has taken on a different look as a method of processing municipal sludge. Today it is one of the most popular and prevalent methods of sludge...
An Analysis of Modeling Techniques in Pollution Management of Natural Water Systems
This paper will focus on various models to demonstrate the difficulties with modeling techniques. The difficulty with developing a valid model for a system is explored through the study...
Allocating Water Among Urban Users During Droughts
Beginning in the spring of 1987, California has been besieged by a drought that, as of this writing, has not yet abated. In response to this unprecedented drought, the San Francisco Water...
