Documentation of the SETTLE Module for ADDAMS: Design of Confined Disposal Facilities for Solids Retention and Initial Storage

Abstract

This technical note documents the SETTLE computer program which facilitates the design of a confined disposal facility (CDF) to retain solids, provide initial storage, and meet effluent discharge limitations for suspended solids during a dredged material disposal operation. Detailed information can be found in Engineer Manual 1110-2-5027, "Confined Dredged Material Disposal" (Office, Chief of Engineers (OCE), U.S. Army 1987). Thackston, Palermo, and Schroeder (1988) describes further refinements to these procedures which are used in this module. SETTLE is a part of the Automated Dredging and Disposal Alternatives Management System (ADDAMS).
