Evaluation and Development of Navigation Positioning and Monitoring Protocols for Dredged Material Disposal in Puget Sound

摘要

The Puget Sound Dredged Disposal Analysis (PSDDA) has identified the need to develop protocols for positioning of barges during dredged material disposal operations and for independent verification that disposal activities occur within terms of the disposal permit. This report provides guidance in these tasks by identifying positioning and monitoring methods that can be used at the various disposal sites in Puget Sound.
