Abstract
A primary objective of this research was to refine and verify the accuracy of a mathematical model of suspended-sediment dispersion, and a model of desorption and dispersion of toxic materials from dredged sediments. These models were developed during the GREAT II study, but additional sampling of suspended-sediment plumes associated with dredge disposal is needed to test the accuracy of the model at different stream velocities and for different sediment types. The refined mathematical formulas will provide users with a quantitative method for assessing water-quality impacts under the Federal Clean Water Act for dredging.
