The Environmental Quality of Sediments in a Contained Dredged Material Disposal Facility of an Industrialized Seaport: Open Ocean Disposal Alternatives.

Abstract

Most of the sediments of the Craney Island Facility appear to have been rendered fairly innocuous by dilution and 'weathering' processes. 'Pollution potential' least for southern region, greatest for western area, with northern and central regions being intermediate. Vast majority of sediments tested appear to meet criteria for open ocean disposal. Keywords: Grain size; Geochemistry.
