Evaluation of the Sensitivity of Baseline Monitoring: Microcosm-Field Water Quality Comparisons.
Abstract
The monitoring regime and statistical models developed for the Norfolk (Virginia) Disposal Site (NDS) appear to provide an effective 'early warning system' for major water quality changes which may be associated with disposal activities. The program appears to provide the opportunity for intervention prior to excessive environmental impacts to the region. Keywords: Dredged materials; Open ocean disposal; Statistical evaluation; Laboratory data vs field data; Environmental impact assessment; Trend assessment; Laboratory microcosm studies.
