Identification of Objectionable Environmental Conditions and Issues Associated with Confined Disposal Areas.
Abstract
Objectionable conditions associated with confined disposal of dredged material were studied through on-site investigations of four U.S. Army Engineer Districts, and discussions with Corps personnel in ten other districts. Three general conclusions were reached: (1) Techniques are available for the prevention of some objectionable conditions associated with the effectiveness of confined disposal areas; (2) Further study is needed at this time to define the extent and significance of most objectionable conditions associated with biological, chemical, and physical changes caused by disposal areas; (3) Ecological and land-use issues that are the basis for public opposition to confined disposal areas should be investigated for ways in which the Corps can mitigate these effects.
