Preliminary Design for Disposal of Dredged Material from Thimble Shoal on East Ocean View Beaches, Norfolk, Virginia.

Abstract

Report specifies that suitable fill for East Ocean View beaches can be obtained from Thimble Shoal Channel deepening to -55 feet. Along 6000 feet of eroded shore just west of Little Creek Entrance, preliminary design computations indicate that a uniformly thick placement totaling 333,000 cubic yards can be accommodated. Placement must be designed to minimize occasional eastward transport. Keywords: Beach nourishment, Dredged material, Sand.
