The Cost of Regulatory Concerns Associated with Petroleum Development in the Arctic
During the late 1970's and early 1980's, petroleum resources were developed in the central Alaskan arctic coastal zone. Governmental agencies mandated to protect...

A Primer on Permit Conditioning
The use, development, and protection of coastal, ocean, and marine resources is highly dependent on the various permits issued by local, state, and federal regulatory agencies. Thousands...

Modeling Dilution of Wastewater Outfalls in a Tidal Estuary
Field studies and modeling have been conducted to assess initial dilution of wastewater outfalls in Puget Sound, a fjord-like estuary in the State of Washington. Recent numerical dilution...

Using the CoastalEcological Landscape Spatial Simulation (CELSS) Model for Wetland Management
A spatial simulation model was constructed to help understand the historical changes in the Atchafalaya/Terrebonne marsh/estuarine complex in south Louisiana and to project impacts of...

The Benefit of Utilizing Case Specific Modelling and Data to Determine Effluent Limitations
This abstract refers to the results of a normal conservative approach to a more realistic, substantiated approach to determining effluent limitations. The new approach was used to establish...

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....

Changes in Development Design Along California's Coast as a Result of California's Coastal Program 1973 to 1987
California's coastal program has attempted to encourage and, where necessary, require designs which take into account a proposed development's immediate and surrounding...

The Massachusetts CZM Project Review Process
In 1978 the Massachusetts Coastal Zone Management Program (MCZMP) became the first CZM program on the East Coast to be approved by the U. S. Department of Commerce and is now in its ninth...

Measuring Water-Dependency: A Puget Sound Example
Fostering water-dependent industry through allocation of urban shoreline sites is an important coastal management goal. But water-dependency is an elusive term to define operationally....

Study on Formation of Waterfront Community?Understanding Waterfront Space Characteristics
The effective development of the waterfront should optimize properties of the waterfront, resulting in activation of urban districts. For this purpose, rehabilitation of the district by...

Protection of Cape Hatteras Lighthouse
Historic Cape Hatteras Lighthouse has recently become threatened by shoreline erosion. Shore protection measures for the lighthouse are summarized and shoreline changes and erosion rates...

Emergency Shore Protection
Emergency shore protection usually requires design and construction to be completed in a 2 to 3 week period. Emergency shore protection measures at Surfside and Ventura, California required...

Port Everglades Development with Respect for Nature
Port Everglades is located on the Southeast coast of Florida partially within the limits of the City of Fort Lauderdale. With the construction of the port in 1928, the surrounding ecosystem...

North Fraser Harbour Environmental Management Plan
In April 1985, the North Fraser Harbour Commission (NFHC) initiated work to establish an environmental management program for the North Fraser Harbour to be jointly administered by the...

Port Facility Development: Public Access and Mitigation Requirements
Coordination of compatible uses and resolution of use conflicts requires continuous effort, extending beyond the planning and permit process and requiring long-range committment of staff...

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....

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...

An Innovative Solution to the Difficult Coastal Zone Management Problem of Dredge Material Disposal
The New York Power Authority is constructing a 300 km predominantly double circuit 345kV transmission facility through southeastern New York State. A key element in this project is the...

Aquatic Dredged Material Disposal in New England
The Disposal Area Monitoring System (DAMOS) is a large multi-disciplinary environmental monitoring program instituted by the New England Division (NED) of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers...

Use of Sediment Bulk Chemistry Data for Dredged Disposal Management in Puget Sound
Although no fully scientific approach for setting and interpreting sediment chemical levels is currently available, an effects-based approach for using bulk chemistry data was evaluated...
