This book was released on 1974 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dredge spoil obtained from maintenance dredging of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway is presently disposed in unconfined, submerged spoil areas alongside the channel. Of interest, for economic and environmental reasons, is the dispersion of the spoil area with time. Grain size analysis of bottom sediment samples, depth soundings and wooden stakes were employed in field investigations to determine the approximate location of material from one such spoil area over a five month period after disposal. Immediately following deposition, over 40 percent of the spoil (based on original in-channel volume) had left the designated spoil area and spread out over the bay floor primarily as a mud-density flow. Eventually spoil covered an area about three times larger than the original spoil area. Return of the spoil to the newly dredged channel did not appear significant during the study period primarily because of the predominant direction of tidal currents and due to the presence of a submerged dike along the channel. A brief summary of dredging and spoil disposal practices is also included.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this study was to prepare a comprehensive review of the literature on the physical, chemical, and biological effects of dredging and spoil disposal in estuaries and to identify alternative spoil disposal methods. Specific objectives were to identify the most critical problems relating to dredging and spoil disposal and to summarize the progress made to date in solving these problems. Using literature search facilities, bibliographies, and communications with experts throughout the United States, about 520 scientific and technical articles on dredging and spoil disposal were screened. Information extracted from selected articles is included in this review.
