Analysis of hydrographic surveys of hopper dredge disposal areas in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Texas indicated that dumping at these sites had little effect on bottom topography. Apparently there are no defenitive, discrete mounds of dredged material formed as a result of open-water disposal.
