Dredge disposal study -- Columbia river estuary
Effects of present usage of two particular disposal areas on channel shoaling at mouth of Columbia River; mouth of estuary is subject to diurnal tide range of 8 ft, tidal discharges which exceed 3,000,000 cfs, upland freshwater flows which have varied from 70,000 cfs to 1, 300,000 cfs, and powerful density currents; model shoaling results were compared with analysis of model bottom velocity data in order to lend credence to shoaling results; prototype data of two disposal areas under study were analyzed to supplement model data; combined analysis of prototype and model data indicated that two disposal areas are suitable for use.
