Dredged Material Research. Notes, News, Reviews, Etc. Volume D-76-3.

Abstract

The San Francisco District, Corps of Engineers, and the Dredged Material Research Program (DMRP) are cooperating in a study of marsh development on dredged material used to fill a salt-production pond along the banks of Alameda Creek in south San Francisco Bay. The study is described in the following article. California cordgrass (Spartina foliosa) was planted from a tractor-pulled sled in clayey dredged material. Time studies indicate that 4000 plants can be sprigged in 1 hour using this operation.
