Long-Term Management Strategy for Dredged Material Disposal for the Naval Weapons Station, Yorktown, Yorktown, Virginia; Naval Supply Center, Cheatham Annex, Williamsburg, Virginia; and Naval Amphibious Base, Little Creek, Norfolk, Virginia. Phase 1: Evaluation of Existing Management Options and Data

Abstract

This report is the first in a five-phased process designed to locate the most suitable sites for the long-term management of material dredged from three naval bases located in southeastern Virginia. These bases include the Naval Weapons Station, Yorktown, Yorktown, VA; the Naval Supply Center, Norfolk, VA. The long-term management strategy (LTMS) used in this process consists of evaluating existing management options, formulating the alternatives, performing a detailed analysis of the alternatives, implementing the LTMS, and conducting a periodic review and update of the LTMS. The purpose of such an LTMS is to provide a consistent, logical procedure by which alternatives can be identified, evaluated, screened, and recommended so that the dredged material placement operations are conducted in a timely and cost-effective manner. Keywords: Chesapeake Bay, Craney Island, Dredged material disposal, Alternatives, Dredging, Solid wastes pollution and control, Environmental resources, Long-term management strategies, York River, Waste management.
