Site selection and GIS analysis of contaminated-sediment distribution and volume for the proposed Courtaulds' Dredge Site, Cornwall, Ontario / Norm Rukavina.: En13-5/96-204E-PDF

"The site previously selected for a trial of contaminant dredging at Cornwall (Rukavina 1994a, 1994b) has been relocated within an area designated by OMEE on the basis of new contaminant data. This report describes the rationale used to select the new site and the GIS analysis of its sediment distribution and properties. The analysis has been based on Roxann mapping of bottom-sediment type, sediment-thickness data from cores and diver and underwater-television observations, and OMEE data on contaminant distribution (Richman 1996). The new data will be used to support RAP decisions on dredging technology and cost"--Executive summary.
