Evaluation of Surface Runoff Water in a Freshwater Confined Disposal Facility - Effects of Vegetation

摘要

The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center, Vicksburg, MS, is conducting a series of laboratory and field studies to determine the effectiveness of the Simplified Laboratory Runoff Procedure (SLRP) for evaluating water quality of surface runoff from the upland placement of dredged material. The purpose of this technical note is to summarize the tests being conducted and to provide results from tests that have been completed at the Jones Island confined disposal facility (CDF) in Milwaukee, WI. The field portion of work at the Jones Island CDF began in June 2001 and was scheduled for completion in May 2002. Additional sites will be selected to include a CDF containing saltwater dredged material. Other technical notes will follow as tasks are completed.
