Management of San Diego Bay Dredged Material Disposal
This paper will discuss the Navy's efforts in the development and analysis of dredged material disposal from Navy projects within San Diego Bay. The impacts and mitigation for the alternatives...

Upland Reuse of Dredged Material as an Alternative to Aquatic Disposal: The Port of Oakland's Berch 30 Terminal Redevelopment, a Case Study
This paper examines the environmental and financial impacts associated with upland disposal of dredged material by discussing a recent Port of Oakland marine terminal redevelopment project....

Coordinating Toxic Cleanup with Future Site Utilization
The Port of Olympia owns a site where former industrial activity left a legacy of toxic contamination, and which is currently involved in a cleanup action. A waterfront site which was...

Beneficial Utilization and Wetland Creation from Dredge Spoil
The Louisiana Coastal Management Division monitored a federal navigation dredging project where half of the wetland disposal sites were constructed by non-traditional methods (partial...

Innovative Approaches to Resolving Port Mitigation and Dredge Disposal Issues
Two problems are increasingly troublesome for port and harbor authorities planning expansion and modernization of their facilities: the long time involved in identifying, gaining approval...

Potential for the Bioremediation of Contaminated Dredge Material
Sediment contamination frequently impacts the ability of ports to maintain and deepen shipping channels. One of the common contaminants in channel sediments is polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons...

Smoke Plumes From In Situ Burning of Oil Spills
Mesoscale pool fire experiments with effective diameters up to 17.2 m were conducted to obtain data on the characteristics of burning crude oil on water. These experiments showed that...

NOAA's Damage Assessment Center
This paper discusses the structure and capabilities of the Damage Assessment Center (DAC) established in 1990 by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to implement...

Project Performance: Ocean City, Maryland Beach Nourishment
Detailed monitoring of the performance of a two-phase beach nourishment project has provided valuable information on beach fill behavior and long-term response of a beach fill to prevailing...

Dependence of Shoreline Change on Channel Dredge Material Disposal Practices, Humboldt Bay, CA, A Case Study
This paper addresses the evaluation of dredge material disposal sites for Humboldt Harbor with emphasis on the Humboldt Open Ocean Disposal Site (HOODS) and the potential impact of its...

Vertical Distribution of Sediment Under Waves
This paper is based on the research foundation of vertical relative distribution of sediment concentration and alluvial bed stability under waves. Amended theories of E. W. Lane and A.A....

Bioengineering Methods to Establish Salt Marsh on Dredged Material
Erosion is a substantial problem on many shorelines of the Galveston Bay complex, as well as other bays of the Gulf of Mexico. Erosion can be prevented by structural measures such as riprap...

Berm Placement Planning Study at Breton Island, Louisiana
This paper identifies tools that are being utilized to determine the most environmentally beneficial location for a nearshore berm to be constructed at Breton Island, Louisiana. The computer...

Longshore Sediment Transport and Radionuclide Dispersion in the Black Sea Coastal Zone
After the Chernobyl accident the studies of the longshore sediment transport in the Black Sea have got new applications connected with a marine pollution problem. The method to calculate...

Scientific Basis of Regulation of Coastal Processes (Case Study: Coast of the Black Sea)
SIA Saknapirdatsva experience in creation of gravel beaches for the coast protection from wave erosion is generalized in this paper. A conclusion has been made that the most expedient...

Calculation of Longshore Sediment Transport on Abrasive Coasts with Attached Pebble Beaches
The calculation scheme and expressions are suggested for flow power of universal nature which expresses the flow capacity such that the sediment transport is proportional to the flow longitudinal...

Specific Features of the Russian Black Sea Coast Dynamics and Morphology (Kerch Strait?Psou River Mouth)
The general contour of the Russian Black sea Coast was formed during the last transgression. Definite dependence can be treated between the modern coastline configuration and transformations...

Specific Features of Shoreline Development in Sochi Region and Engineering Methods of Coast Protection
A coast segment from Tuapse City to the Psou River, 113 km long, is extended in this paper. Geological description of the coast has been made, and approximate values of the abrasion rate...

The Flows of Suspended Sandy Material Along the Section of Bulgarian Coast
Combining of available models of elementary hydro- and lithodynamic processes in a single calculation scheme permits to evaluate the volumes of detrital material transported either way...

About Some Dynamic Conditions of the Beach Sedimentary Strata Formation on the Bulgarian Sandy Coast of the Black Sea
Based on detailed studying of the beach sedimentary sequence composition in sections of perpendicular trenches in the western (Bulgarian) coast of the Black sea and comparison with results...
