Abstract

Document addresses designation of an open water regional disposal site in Western Long Island Sound. Disposal operations would cause a localized and temporary turbidity to the immediate area of disposal. Localized reduction in dissolved oxygen and release of contaminants into the water column. Discharge of dredged material would bury benethic organisms, demersol fish and lobsters within immediate discharge areas. Conclusions, the impacts of disposal at the WLIS III and Site A are believed to be short term and localized to the immediate discharge area. (Author)
