Grays Harbor and Chehalis River Improvements to Navigation Environmental Studies. Grays Harbor Ocean Disposal Study. Literature Review and Preliminary Benthic Sampling,

Abstract

Four alternative ocean disposal sites with varying distances from the mouth of Grays Harbor, Washington, are discussed as possible sites to dump approximately 3.3 million cubic yards of dredged material resulting from the widening and deepening of Grays Harbor. The remaining 13.4 million cubic yards of dredged material is targets for ocean dumping. This report includes a preliminary assessment of impacts of the dredging project on aquatic organisms, commercial enterprises, sedimentation and other physical impacts to the harbor. (Author)
