| Abstract |
The environmental effects of dredging and dredged material disposal have been an issue in the Chesapeake Bay Region for some time. Recent concerns over dredging and disposal in the Baltimore Harbor area have been particularly strong, and have resulted in significant project delays. Possible solutions would be to improve either the technologies or the management processes associated with dredging. This report reviews eleven years of dredging records for federal projects, six years of dredging records for private projects, current management programs, and the scientific literature in order to define current programs and their impacts. Potential technological improvements are also described. This information was then used to prepare a series of recommendations for improving dredging practices in the Chesapeake Bay. |
