Environmental Analysis of U.S. Navy Shipboard Solid Waste Discharges: Addendum to the Report of Findings

摘要

This Addendum provides follow-on findings to a report published by SSC San Diego (TR 1716) in January 1996 detailing a study of the fate and effects of U.S. Navy shipboard solid waste discharges. The study was requested as part of the Navy's effort to evaluate solid waste discharge compliance alternatives. The objective of the study was to determine to what extent, if any, Navy solid waste discharges lead to adverse marine environmental effects. Along with the original findings, the final results presented in this Addendum suggest that there will be no significant adverse environmental impact from the discharges studied.
