Environmental Effects of Dredging. Monitoring Dredged Material Consolidation and Settlement at Aquatic Disposal Sites.

Abstract

This technical note provides information on methods for monitoring the consolidation and subsequent settlement of dredged material deposited at aquatic disposal sites. Information is given on methods that have been used by the Corps of Engineers (CE) at various aquatic disposal sites around the United States. Other methods are discussed that may prove useful in monitoring the consolidation and subsequent settlement of subaqueous dredged material deposits. (AN)
