| dc.description.abstract | The realization that the dredging and disposal processes are highly complex situations and the urgency of providing definitive information on the environmental impact of current and potential disposal methods, as well as the development of techniques for mitigating potential adverse effects, have led to the development of a comprehensive five-year research program. Due to the fact that dredging and the disposal of dredged material occurs in such highly variable environmental situations,.it has been generally accepted that a universally applicable methodology cannot be satisfactorily developed. Consequently, it was concluded that a broad-based program of research was required to provide definitive information on the environmental impact of dredging and dredged material disposal operations and to develop technically satisfactory, environmentally compatible, and economically feasible dredging and disposal alternatives, including consideration of dredged material as a manageable resource. This research effort will provide solutions to many problems within two years and to some of the more difficult and complex ones within five years. The research plan is by necessity a dynamic one and is under continuous adjustment as more information is developed from early research under this study or from other sources. | en_US |
