Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rational method to size dredged material containment areas and guidelines for selecting the parameters required by the method are presented. The technique aims at improving the bulking factor sizing method presently in use and takes into account (a) the properties of the channel sediment to be dredged, (b) the behavior of the dredged material in the disposal site, and (c) the components of the dredging operation that affect volume of sediment dredged. For these purposes, current practice was surveyed, pertinent values of the dredging operation were reviewed, the behavior of several types of dredged material was investigated, and the prediction methodology was applied to four field cases.

This book was released on 1983 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dredged material containment areas (DMCA) differ physically, biologically, and chemically. Structural variability includes size, configuration, foundation conditions, water retention properties, and the presence of interior cells. Levees differ in height, width, continuity, and adaptability to aquaculture. Locations may be remote or have ready access to roads and commercial power sources. Water control structures vary in location, state of repair, and usefulness to the prospective culturist. Infrequently used DMCA may be heavily overgrown, while active DMCA, containing sand, silt, or clay, often have irregular bottom topography and potentially unstable interior soils. Most DMCA are biologically productive during inactive periods, but potential contaminants within or scheduled for disposal in DMCA should be assessed. The length of time an area is active and the frequency of disposal, important impacts in DMCA aquaculture activities, should be incorporated into all planning. Cooperation from the local Corps District is anticipated. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The view that active dredged material containment areas (DMCA) are unproductive, commercially unusable, and incompatible with local needs can be challenged by demonstrating that there are situations where dredged material and DMCA's can be used to create positive benefits. One example would be a profitable and biologically productive use of disposal acreage for aquaculture. A 2 day workshop on aquaculture in DMCA's held in Galveston, Tex., in September 1982 attended by representatives from the Corps, other Federal and State agencies, private industry, and academia, examined issues affecting the technical, economic, and practical use of DMCA's for aquaculture ...

This book was released on 1978 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A literature review revealed gaps in research concerning the use of existing procedures for designing containment areas for fine-grained dredged material to meet standards for effluent suspended solids levels. The literature review did provide the basis for developing laboratory and field investigations and for evaluating results. Four active dredging projects were used as sites to obtain samples of channel sediments and dredged material for laboratory tests, determine suspended solids levels of dredge discharges and containment area effluents, and to develop profiles of suspended solids versus depth for the containment areas. Dye tracer studies were used to investigate the short-circuiting and mixing properties of containment areas. It was found that grab samples taken from channel bottom sediments are adequate for performing sediment characterization and settling tests. Sediment organic contents were generally less than 10 percent for all the sites except one. In general the organics were considered to be too low to be a significant factor in evaluating the settling properties of the dredged material.

This book was released on 1976 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The capacity of containment areas is influenced by many factors that include: (a) variations in material being dredged; (b) type of dredge; (c) volume change on handling the dredged material while dredging and during deposition; (d) flow velocities of the dredged slurry in the area; (e) elimination of carrying water by runoff through weirs; (f) solids in the effluent; (g) soil permeabilities; (h) flow patterns and seepage through dikes; (i) primary consolidation; and (j) secondary compression effects. Current methods for estimating the capacity of containment areas for placement of dredged material often rely on empirical factors and local experience. From an investigation of various methods for sizing containment areas, suggestions are made for estimating containment area capacity based on consolidation of the dredged material and foundation soils.
