Analysis of a Dredged Material Disposal Operation, Dam Neck Ocean Disposal Site, Virginia

S. R. DeLoach

Purpose of this study was to: (a) determine the Corps ability to construct an underwater feature utilizing predominately fine grained maintenance dredging material, and (b) enhance the Corps ability to monitor and predict the stability of the feature and its effects on surrounding topography. Conclusion arrived at was that the only loss of dredged material from the site was the direct result of settlement of scour along the crest due to various storms which passed through the area. The computed volume change was not within the error limits of state-of-the art bathymetric survey methods. (Author)
