Dredge Disposal Study, San Francisco Bay and Estuary. Appendix C. Water Column.

Abstract

The objective of this study has been to ascertain the effects of dredging and disposal operations on the water quality of San Francisco Bay with particular emphasis on the degree and duration of associated sediment resuspension. To achieve this objective water quality monitoring was performed in several areas of the Bay influenced by dredging and disposal operations during 1972-1975. The purpose was to record and quantify deviations from background of suspended solids loading, light transmission, dissolved oxygen content, temperature, salinity/conductivity and pH of the water column.
