Application of SLRP to Pearl Harbor Dredged Material

Abstract

The simplified laboratory runoff procedure (SLRP) was developed to provide U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Districts with a fast, inexpensive screening tool to assess potential surface runoff water quality problems resulting from the upland disposal of dredged material. The SLRP was applied to sediments from Indiana Harbor (Environmental Laboratory 1987), Blackrock Harbor, and the San Francisco Bay area during its development (Price, Skogerboe, and Lee 1998; Skogerboe 1995). Recently, SLRP was applied to New York Harbor sediment for the New York District and as part of the Long-Term Effects of Dredging Operations (LEDO) Program, Work Unit No. 33054, on a reimbursable basis. SLRP was also applied to Pearl Harbor sediment for the U.S. Navy on a reimbursable basis (Schroeder et al. 1999). This technical note summarizes the results and current application of SLRP in the decision-making process for Pearl Harbor.
