Dredged Material Disposal Study, U.S. Navy Home Port, Everett, Washington. Technical Supplement.
Abstract
A series of numerical model runs predicting the short-term of contaminated and uncontaminated dredged materials disposed in open water was performed. The conditions tested were intended to represent typical conditions for the disposal of material at the proposed US Navy Home Port site at Everett, Washington. Two types of disposal methods were tested: a bottom disposal of contaminated material and a capping operation with uncontaminated material using hydraulic dredging and pipe discharge. Long-term predictions of disposal mound configuration and capping thicknesses based on hand calculations were also made. Three current conditions and four dredged material clumping percentages pipe configurations and four pipe discharges with varying density were simulated for the capping operation with uncontaminated material.
