Semiannual Interagency Briefing (6th), February 1976, Washington, D. C.

Abstract

This paper presents the edited text and prints of slides of the February 1976 briefing on the status of the Dredged Material Research Program (DMRP) being directed at the U. S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station, Vicksburg, Mississippi. The briefing summarizes the status, phases, and goals of the DMRP. Field studies are demonstrating the productive uses of dredged material and the feasibility of dredged material becoming a natural resource. Problems, accomplishments, and objectives within each of the four projects are discussed: the Environmental Impact's and Criteria Development Project, the Habitat Development Project, the Disposal Operations Project, and the Productive Uses Project. The research covers a diversity of problems on the disposal, effects of disposal, and possible uses of dredged material.
